Harvey Norman Fined $234,000 since Dec 2013 for missleading consumers about their rights

Enjoyed reading this from the SMH.

Good on the ACCC!

Why are HN such ar***oles? Is there a big cost to them for giving consumers their rights, I thought the manufacturer would be up for the costs? Or do they just want to sell more stuff? Or are staff truly stupid?

  • Who gets the fine penalty? consumers? or the accc

    • Probably consumer.
      And yea HN are the worst

    • ACCC gets the full amount from all consumer cases.

    • Fines are paid by HN (either head office or the store owners) to the ACCC.

      • So, fining these big company giants has no benefit to consumers?

  • So harvey paid all himself? Now his goons be out of pocket lol.

  • Got stung by HN (Southland)some years ago regarding a vacuum cleaner which didn't work, so very happy that ACCC has dealt with them. The penalty should have been much larger though.
