Disabled photographer gets CeX refund for Canon DSLR after returns policy battle
Fred Bright, from Paulsgrove, will get back the £157 he spent on a second-hand Canon Eos 1000D at CeX in North End – despite being told it would not be possible.
The keen snapper, 59, was delivered the initial blow after he took the kit back to the store after facing set-up issues because of a missing CD.

The bad news forced him to turn to consumer champion Streetwise – which has now secured him a refund.
Confirmation of the gesture came in an email to Streetwise at 5pm yesterday, from a spokesperson for CeX.
The victory comes after a Streetwise investigation discovered CeX Franchising Ltd was a trading name of webuy.com – an online technology firm which offers the statutory 14-day no-quibble full refund requirement of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2014.
