‘Lay-by goods should be collected’
People should start thinking about paying off and picking up lay-by goods to avoid disappointment at Christmas, said the Christchurch complaints officer of the Consumers’ Institute, Mr Maurice Smith. He said many distressed people approached the institute last year because they went to collect lay-by items just before Christmas to find they had been “lost or inadvertently sold” by the shops. “Consumers lay by for Christmas at sales earlier in the year, only to find the goods gone when they 'go to pick them up,” Mr Smith said.
