Keen to know if we have a Lenovo NZ contact here.

Long story short my X1 Carbon of 2.5 years was being fixed under CGA and because after 3 repairs they couldn't fix the issue they've decided they won't fix anymore for free.

Was it purchased direct from Lenovo or a retail store like Noel lemming?

Don't think it'll be a fast process either way you go..... so what have Lenovo said exactly ? That its a fault of theirs (parts), or blaming you for damaging something ?

They can't fix the fault after 3 attempts so they've given up and said I'll have to pay for the next fix.

They said the initial 3 were out of "goodwill" which is BS due to CGA. This is not a fault I created.

Send them the URLs for the CGA legislation and the explanations (on the MBIE site?), and tell them them that under the CGA you are rejecting the laptop as they are unable to fix it, and you are requiring them under the CGA to replace or refund immediately (it is your choice as to which). Ask for the contact details of the person you should inform if you have to go to the Disputes Tribunal. It might also be an idea to ask them to refer this matter to one of their senior managers, who are likely to actually understand their CGA obligations. To get through the lower level people to a more senior person, you can try asking them what they understand about the CGA, and telling them where they are wrong and because they are getting it wrong, you need to talk to a more senior person.

Even with enterprise support level Lenovo were crap in my experience, if it's urgent only option is buy another device. CGA as above for some money or fixed again at some point hopefully.

If this is the same company on your receipt, then these are some NZ contact details

Thank you. I have reached out to the NZ contact on LinkedIn. Hopefully this is resolved.

CGA does not register with Lenovo unfortunately.

You have the right to reject the goods now.

Unfortunately, it'll take time, but contacting them for address details so you can lodge a Small Claims case may spur them into action.

This is the address on the bottom of a recent marketing email I was sent - however it is also a shared office space, so I suspect nothing physically there. Hopefully LI gets you somewhere!

What is the issue that they've tried 3 times to fix? When did the issue present itself? We used to sell quite a few Lenovo's and Lenovo came to the party a few times on faults out of warranty.

Contacting them for contact details for legal notices resulted in.... giving me an email address.

They don't care, at least that's how it seems.
