  • Introduction to Video Content
  • JB Hi-Fi, a popular retail giant in Australia, is facing a class-action lawsuit over the sale of allegedly "bogus" extended warranties. The lawsuit, led by law firm Morris Blackburn, claims that the retailer has been ripping off customers for over a decade by selling expensive warranties that offer little to no value. These warranties, which cost up to 15-20% of the product's value, are said to provide the same coverage as the Australian Consumer Law but at a much higher price. The class action seeks compensation for hundreds of thousands of customers who have purchased extended care, customer care, and extra care plans, totaling millions of dollars in spending. The plaintiffs are demanding a full refund of all amounts paid for extended warranties since January of this year, along with interest.In response to the lawsuit, JB Hi-Fi has stated that it has always complied with relevant laws and intends to vigorously defend itself in court. However, JB Hi-Fi is not the only retailer under scrutiny. Mystery shoppers sent out to other stores like Good Guys and Harvey Norman found that 71% of them were being misled about their rights under the consumer law. This suggests that the issue of misleading warranties is widespread in the industry.This class-action lawsuit highlights the concerns and frustrations of consumers who feel taken advantage of by retailers' tactics to sell extended warranties. While it may seem like a good idea to protect one's purchase, the claims made in this lawsuit raise questions about the actual value and benefits of these warranties. It is important for consumers to understand their rights and make informed decisions when purchasing such warranties, considering whether the extra cost is justified by the added protection.
  • Subtitles section
  • Tonight, we're all familiar with buying electronics or white goods and getting upsold and extended warranty.
  • But while it might seem like a no brainer to protect your purchase, a new class action claims we're all being royally ripped off.
  • It is the season to be spending.
  • And no one loves your money more than a retail assistant with an eye on some sweet Christmas commission from an extended warranty on a new TV or fridge.
  • It's really widespread and I think a lot of these stores are really trying to prey on the fears of consumers, especially when they're buying a big ticket item.
  • Now Morris Blackburn is calling BS on the practice, at least for retail giant JB Hi Fi.
  • Lawyers launching a class action over claims the retailer has been ripping off customers for more than a decade, selling expensive junk warranties worth virtually nothing.
  • JB Hi Fi's extended warranty offered the same kind of relief that you would get under the Australian Consumer Law, but at a much higher price.
  • Up to fifteen, twenty percent of the product's value.
  • The lawsuit is seeking compensation for extended care, customer care and extra care plans purchased by hundreds of thousands of customers who've spent millions of dollars.
  • What we're looking to do is to recover all of the amounts paid on extended warranties back to January of the year and interest.
  • In a statement, JB Hi Fi says it has complied with relevant laws at all times and intends to vigorously defend the proceedings.
  • But it's not just JB Hi Fi on the consumer naughty list this year.
  • We sent out heaps of mystery shoppers to stores like Good Guys, Harvey Norman, et cetera, and we found that seventy one percent of those people were being misled about their rights under their own consumer law.
  • In fact a third of Aussies have purchased an extended warranty in the past two years.
  • But only twelve percent of them say they were told how it differed from standard consumer law.
  • It's a real problem here and I think a lot of these staff members are really encouraged to try and sell consumers these extended warranties.
  • So how can you make sure an extra warranty is really worth it and not just a Christmas customer cash grab?
  • Journalist and former host of The Checkout, Kirsten Drysdale, is here to tell us more about how to spot a dodgy warranty.
  • Kirsten, it's not just JB Hi Fi who are accused of this.
  • How common a practice is it and who are the main culprits?
  • Look, it's really, really common.
  • It's very widespread, particularly in any of the big box retailers you go into.
  • So I don't really want to name check them, but put it this way, if they've got a radio ad with an annoying jingle that you can't get out of your head in a really big store, they're probably offering you dodgy extended warranties.
  • Well, what is the difference between these warranties and the basic consumer law?
  • Well, look, so they can vary.
  • There might be some extended warranties out there that do offer a bit more, but usually the main difference is that they will specify a length of time that they'll cover the product that you've purchased.
  • So they might say, this is an extended warranty for three years or four years from the date of purchase, whereas the consumer law doesn't have a sort of number of years.
  • What it has is a clause about reasonably durable.
  • So that leaves a little bit of a grey area, but if you're spending thousands of dollars on an appliance for your house, it's reasonable to expect that product to last for several years.
  • So even though the manufacturer might tell you, oh, it just comes with a two year warranty, that's beside the point.
  • You have a guarantee under our Australian Consumer Law that it should be reasonably durable, and that would be several years in most cases.
  • Now, one thing I do, and I probably shouldn't dob on myself here, but there is a place, when I get headphones, I'll spend a few hundred dollars on headphones, get the two year warranty, and with a month to go, just go in and say, they're broken, and then get a new pair of headphones.
  • Is that bad, or should I be doing that?
  • Yeah, you should be going to confession about that.
  • You are undermining the system for the rest of us.
  • Don't hate the player, hate the game, I reckon.
  • Look, it's probably all coming out in the wash and yeah, I'm sure they're not losing any sleep over the odd person doing that.
  • Could we mount a class action against Nick Cody?
  • Oh no, this has gone terribly.
  • Yeah, you've just admitted to that on national television.
  • You've essentially admitted to fraud.
  • Are you using your warranty?
  • It was my friend Sam, he's normally here.
  • We can't let you go without asking about a horrifyingly true story that we all remember from a few months ago.
  • You named your son methamphetamine rule to see how the strict rules around naming kids goes.
  • How's that working out for him?
  • It's all sorted.
  • It's all corrected.
  • That name has been removed.
  • It no longer is on his birth certificate.
  • He has a new birth certificate with his real name on it and he will not have to for the rest of his life answer have you ever been known by any other name with meth rules.
  • So you're not taking methamphetamines to any Christmas party or anything like that?
  • No, Baby Miss is just going to have a quiet Christmas at home this year.
  • Kirsten, it's been a pleasure.
  • Thanks so much for your time tonight.
  • Thanks for having me.
