Certain superstore called me a thief and I prove them wrong. What can I do against them?

Active Denial Systemâ„¢

They traced a signal .. so like your laptop is "bugged"? Never heard of anything like that EVER.
Moving on. Sitting in a backseat of a car was emotionally debilitating to you? Whoa! Were you in handcuffs?
Next. YOU lost half of a class? Like 30 minutes worth? Yeah .. that's interesting or nit-picky. Lost gas & time fom your cell phone? You mean that you had to drive somewhere to clear yourself? And you had to talk on your cell phone also? Nit-picky.

You are clearly playing the VICTIM. Send this mega-store a letter to their corporate headquarters outlining your "real" experience. I wouldn't mention all the nit-picky because they will laugh it off and you will never hear from them. Also file a complaint with the BBB. Expect an apology at best. To waste anytime thinking that you are gonna hit it big with a settlement is ridiculous and immature.

Good luck.

EDIT: "Actually a lot of "Superstores" install (and I'm not kidding) a software called Lo-Jack, which allows them to track the computer whenever it is on the internet via IP address."

Lo-Jack is a subscription/pay service. Its not free .. so yeah .. anyways! (rolling eyes)

EDIT: "responsability"? A's huh?

The Mr. Pine

File a formal complaint and claim to executives in writing.
File a written complaint to the Better Business Bureau in their area.
Get a free consultation from a reputable attorney on your right to file suit for wrongful conduct, malice and harassment.

Choose not to shop there again. There isn't a legal recourse you can feasibly take. Besides, in the grand scheme of your life, this is a blip on the radar. Don't gum up the court system, just choose to not give them anymore of your money.

As long as they didn't charge you with a crime, then you can't do anything except their appology and move on, chalk it up to experience and don't shop there anymore.

Chances are there's not much of anything you can do. If at all possible, I'd return the computer for a refund and get another from somewhere else.

deedee

contact an attorney and ask her/him.

jperk1941

legally, not much. They may do something out of kindness and for your inconvenience, but that's up to them. No harm asking them, though.

Call Judge Judy.

tidybowl49

lawsuit if you wish.Lawyer will do it at no charge to you and then take about half of the settlement.I would at least demand an apology from the store.

babablacksheep

sue them to get rich

Ja.Leah.Shuh.

roy40372

all you have to do is tell your story to a lawyer and he will be happy to take it from there for a third of the damages and its gonna be a bunch for sure

Blue Steel & Lace

Sue the store.
Get an attorney and sue them for false arrest, or malicious prosecution.
Go after them for punitive damages plus everything it cost you, including attorney's fees.
You don't have to complain to the store. Get an attorney and let him/her do the talking.
The store will settle before it goes to trial. They don't want a jury hearing your story.

woodtigerdp

Get a Criminal lawyer to advise you how you can sue them, lost of wages and emotional stress can be some of the things you can sue them for, I'm sure the lawyer will come up with more things to add to the lawsuit. Don't go to the store get the lawyer first. Good luck and don't wait too long.

*****

You can take the store to civil court and sue them for pain and suffering.

eddysmomma

Call judge Extream Akim!

Honey get yourself a good lawyer and let him or her take it from there.

You could demand for financial compensation for the gas and time on cell. You could even ask for more b/c of the emotional trauma. I'd say to sue but, I'm no lawyer.

Actually a lot of "Superstores" install (and I'm not kidding) a software called Lo-Jack, which allows them to track the computer whenever it is on the internet via IP address.

You should first off start by filling out a public report on the store on the BAD Business Bureau (see link below) and then hire an attorney to file damages relating to embarassment, your character and any negative impact due to the cops showing up.

It IS illegal to falsely accuse someone of a crime, and you have every right to be angry, and seek damages if any arise.

Good luck on the details, and tell everyone you know about your experience on the Bad Business Bureau. (The Better Business Bureau is a sham - they get paid by the stores they claim to "protect you from". All of their income is from businesses. How tough do you think they'll be on the companies that pay their salaries?)

EDITED TO ADD:

Dash - actually, many of the Superstores DO get free subscriptions for the laptops as part of negotiating carrying the product on the shelves. Just like Sirius Satellite gives away free subscriptions so people can demonstrate the products in the stores. I'd offer a link on THOSE subscription prices, but I think you get the point.

But I'm sure you know everything, so I won't bother trying to compete with your supreme arrogance.

Take your case to a lawyer who specializes in Criminal Law. The Superstore's conduct was outrageous. A false arrest consists of unlawful restraint of a personâ€™s liberty without proper legal authority. The key words here are â€œwithout proper legal authorityâ€. The burden is on you, the person complaining they have been falsely arrested, to persuade a court or jury that the officer acted without legal authority. The police will have notes in their reports regarding the incident to enhance and help your case. If you can show the store was malicious you may be entitled to more money or what is referred to as â€œpunitiveâ€ damages. A common example of a false arrest situation is where an officer arrests a kid for shoplifting, with no real suspicion that the person did anything wrong, but rather just because the kid had spiked green hair.

An attorney would also cover other issues of emotional distress, compensation for lost time, etc. I wouldn't bother dealing with the Superstore execs, but rather let your attorney do this so as to give them a wake-up call on customer service and wrongful accusations and wreckless inventory practices that result in harm to the consuming/public - customers like you. Wouldn't be surprising for them to offer settlement out of court to avoid public confrontation/attention, and keep the matter quiet to preserve any reputation of "good-will".

sue them..........Slander

foxfire

You can file a lawsuit for emotional distress, harrassment, false arrest and slander against the store. They should know better than to make an accusation without proof. Knowing that you said this was a superstore means they probably are worth a lot of money. I'm sure there will be an attorney who would be willing to take the case on contingency.

bonez

U GO RITE INTO THAT STORE AND YELL AT THEM!! how dare they accuse u! and then they just get off with it by saying, " o, we miscounted our stock sorry!"
