In May I and my Roommate bought a KDS USA which had the following on it:
Product No: XF-7b
Model: 786N
Product Series: DZ-777NS
Mfg Date: February
100-24DVAC, 50/60Hz, 1.8A
Under the Barcode was this:
WZQD042021942U
And if you look at this website below you will see that this model has already been discontinued:

If you look under X-Flat you will see that XF-7b is on there. Wonder why it was discontinued maybe because of the same reason?
So Mrs. Patricia Bueno has accused me of pulling harshly cord and has said also it might have been caused unintentionally. But anyhow they are saying because of the inner wires of the cord being exposed it's not under warranty and thus I would have to pay a total of $218.40 which includes the $30.00 fee to get the cable replaced. My mother wrote to this woman who has no manners and no respect because she accused me of doing harm to the cable when I got taught better not to pull on cables and have never done so. Here is the last email that she sent to my mother:
Date: Fri Mar 17 19:41: 30 2006
From: Patricia Bueno
To: email address
Subject: RE: Mrs. Patricia Bueno:
Mr. Maguire,
The explanation once again is that the cable is not covered due to the fact that the inner wires are exposed. The reason the emails from your son were
forwarded to management was for them to see the kind of rude emails your son was sending me. This would allow them to review the entire situation and advise me if I the information I gave to him was correct. They did agree that by the photos provided with the inner wires exposed we could not replace the cable free of charge.
We cannot refer you or your son to a local repair shop because warranty and out of warranty repairs are handled by us. Again, I have advised your son what this option is. Please do not send any more emails to me on this same issue. I will also advise management that I have relayed the option to you as being the final and only solution. Please contact the customer service department for an rma# to send the unit in with $30.00 payment to replace the cable.
Sincerely,
Patricia
This Company has also got a F from the Better Business Bureau which the report is available at this link below:
Http://www.labbb.org/BBBWeb/Forms/Business/CompanyReportPage_Expository. Aspx? CompanyID=13038482
Or you can read this below what it says on the BBB Website:
F-We strongly question the company's reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law's licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company's industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.
I hope that this company will get either straightened out of shut down. I can't believe what kind of companies that are ripping people off all over the USA and the Government don't seem to care and neither does the BBB apparently or else there would have been investigations by now and they would have been shut down like ENRON. I also filed a BBB Report against them and so has other people also.
