Class Action Challenges Wal Mart's Return Policy
LakinChapman, LLC has filed a class action complaint in the circuit court of Madison County, Illinois against Wal Mart, alleging that it has failed to live up to the terms of its return policy.
Wood River, IL (PRWEB) May 26, 2009 -- LakinChapman, LLC has filed a class action complaint (Cause No. 09-L- 525) in the circuit court of Madison County, Illinois against Wal Mart, alleging that it has failed to live up to the terms of its return policy.
The Complaint alleges that while Wal Mart promises to refund to its customers what they paid for merchandise, it fails to do so if the merchandise is returned to a Wal Mart store location with a lower applicable sales tax rate than where the merchandise was originally purchased.
LakinChapman, LLC Managing Partner Brad Lakin, in denouncing Wal Mart's practices, said "If a consumer buys merchandise at the Collinsville Wal Mart and returns it to the Glen Carbon Wal Mart he or she should get back exactly what they paid for the merchandise. What he or she receives should not depend on the sales tax rate of the store where the merchandise is returned. That's the promise Wal Mart has made to its customers and the one it should keep. We filed this class action to recover what rightfully belongs to consumers and force Wal Mart to stop this practice. Other retailers keep their promise and return exactly what was paid for merchandise no matter where it's returned. Why shouldn't Wal Mart?"
