Ongoing Issues with My Russell Smart TV Product

In October 2023, I applied for a Russell's store account card, and my experience has been nothing short of distressing. During my visit to the store, I was greeted with an uncomfortable situation—an intrusive camera without any explanation, and a mountain of paperwork to sign. When I questioned the sales agent, he dismissed my concerns, stating it was simply part of the process to access my account. Trusting his words, I proceeded, only to discover later that I had been unknowingly signed up for a loan rather than receiving the card I expected.Despite my immediate attempts to reach out to customer service just two days later, I received no response—an incredibly frustrating lack of support. I had already ordered two items, including a TV, for which I'm still making payments. Unfortunately, this TV has been a source of continuous distress. A persistent ad banner is displayed on the screen, rendering it unusable—preventing me from changing channels, accessing apps, or even adjusting the volume. This has been an ongoing issue. Despite 2 technician visits, each lasting a month due to them taking the tv from my home to their warehouse to "fix" the tv issue, my TV remains having the ad banner issue, and I am left without the product I deserve which should be a fully functioning smart tv.I am tired of the endless cycle of excuses and the lack of genuine assistance from your team. It feels as though Russell's is more concerned with profits than with addressing customer needs. I have requested a replacement TV or an equivalent model from a different brand, yet I have received no respectful response or resolution.This entire experience has been incredibly disheartening. As a customer who has invested my trust and money into your brand, I deserve more respect and support than this. I urge you to take immediate action to rectify this situation.
