Durafit - Defective Durafit Velox Pro Treadmill Supplied Request for Immediate Refund and Compensation
Dr Balamurugan S filed complaint against Durafit on May 8, 2026
I am filing a formal consumer complaint against Outdoors** (Durafit) regarding an inherently defective Durafit Velox Pro treadmill purchased on April *, **** (Order AV-EC-******-****-**).
The equipment was delivered on April **, ****, and officially installed by the company on April **, ****. Upon installation, it was immediately apparent that the machine was Dead on Arrival (DOA) with severe electrical and mechanical failures. Despite a company technician attempting a repair by replacing the Motor Control Board, the machine remains completely non-functional. It exhibits erratic performance, along with ongoing motor, display, and wiring issues. I have explicitly rejected any further piecemeal fixes on a brand-new, DOA machine.
Due to the company's sheer lack of cooperation and refusal to process a refund, I was forced to initiate a formal chargeback dispute with my credit card issuer, ICICI Bank (Dispute Reference: SR**********), explicitly requesting recategorization under "Defective Merchandise" and a provisional credit. I have also issued formal pre-litigation legal notices to the company demanding a full refund or a complete replacement, with my final deadline for them to resolve this having expired on May *, ****.
The merchant has provided no resolution and may attempt to rely on standard delivery receipts to evade financial responsibility, despite the product being provably defective from the moment of installation. Their failure to address this issue constitutes a severe deficiency in service and an unfair trade practice under the Consumer Protection Act. This prolonged ordeal has caused me significant inconvenience, mental agony, and financial distress.
Resolution Sought:
A complete refund of the original purchase amount.
Immediate pickup of the defective, non-functional treadmill from my residence.
Full cooperation from the merchant regarding the ongoing ICICI Bank chargeback (Ref: SR**********) to ensure my funds are rightfully returned.
Compensation totaling ₹*,**,***, broken down as follows:
₹**,*** for severe mental agony and physical harassment.
₹**,*** for unfair trade practices and deficiency in service.
₹**,*** for legal expenses, time wasted, and administrative costs incurred during this dispute
