​I am issuing an urgent public warning to all Australian consumers and businesses: HP Australia is currently operating in total defiance of the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). After 160+ days of documented failure, this matter is now a formal investigation under:
​▪︎ NSW Fair Trading (Ref: 11520797)
▪︎ ​The ACCC (Ref: 4716968)
​▪︎ NCAT Tribunal (Case: 2026/00113715)
​THE EVIDENCE OF COLLAPSE:
For over five months, HP has employed a strategy of "Delay, Deny, and Deceive."
Despite a manufacturing "Major Failure" and HP technicians physically damaging my laptop (HP Ref: 5157010025), they have ignored a signed Deed of Settlement and legal deadlines.
​@Brad Pulford (Managing Director): You are presiding over a culture of administrative cowardice. By allowing these systemic breaches to continue, you are exposing HP to the NEW $100 MILLION PENALTY FRAMEWORK for ACL violations.
​@Tony Neal (Customer Support Channel Manager): Your profile claims you "shape the end-to-end support experience." Does this experience include your team, specifically Dinesh B K, ignoring legal notices and returning damaged property?
​@Rahul Bajaj, as a 'Customer-Centric' Field Delivery Manager, why are you monitoring my profile while your team continues to return damaged property and ignore a 'Major Failure' (Ref: 5157010025)? Monitoring a victim of your company's ACL defiance is not 'innovation'—it is administrative cowardice.
â—ï¸FINAL ADVISORY: Process the FULL REFUND OF $1,615.25 for HP Case 5157010025 immediately or continue to explain this systemic failure to your Global Board and the ACCC.
SILENCE by HP Management is not a strategy - it is a confession of INCOMPETENCE.
​VERDICT:
HP Australia has proven themselves unfit to operate within the Australian regulatory environment. They are a documented repeat offender, having been fined $3 Million by the Federal Court in 2013 for these exact tactics.
