Clothing Franchises First See "Franchise Qualification"

Today is the twenty-eighth "3. 15" consumer rights day. In an interview, the reporter found that in the past 11 years, the content of complaints has been changing with the increase of consumption level and the pfer of consumption hot spots.

In last year's and this year's clothing complaints, "joining the dispute complaints" has aroused concern, which is different from the previous general consumer complaints, but a complaint related to venture capital.

The reporter saw in the consumer report of Guangzhou in 2009, the issue of franchise disputes is still emerging. This issue is also highlighted by the Guangzhou Municipal Industrial and commercial bureau and Guangzhou Consumer Council in the 1 and February consumer complaints (complaints) and warnings in 2010.

New form of affiliate fraud?

The reporter understands, this year about clothing complaints, a new situation is more prominent, that is clothing contract disputes.

According to the statistics of the consumer report of Guangzhou in 2009 issued by the Guangzhou industrial and commercial bureau, 12315 complaints were received on the issue of garment joining in 52. The names of the parties involved were different, but the contents of complaints were almost the same.

It is reported that the complainant is in the name of wholesale clothing and brand name, and has a special clothing exhibition hall to attract buyers. The buyer will sign the agreement and pay the franchise fee and payment. The goods received are completely different from the exhibition hall. Most of the products are of poor quality, old fashioned clothing, and the price of clothing is also inconsistent with the agreement.

So 12315 complaints were asked to rescind the agreement and refund.

In the process of coordinating with these companies, the industry and Commerce Department of Guangzhou has different attitudes. Some companies are able to rescind the agreement and refund part of the franchise fee and payment on the basis of voluntary agreement under the mediation of the business sector.

However, some companies have adopted a procrastination and roundabout way, and have not explicitly refused, but they have not actively cooperated with each other, resulting in the mediation work in a predicament and unable to make progress.

The report said, "after investigation, such complaints are suspected of contractual fraud, and it is likely to form a new form of contract fraud."

Most do not qualify for licensing.

It is understood that these so-called garment franchises are usually under the banner of "franchising" and "franchising", inviting foreign investors to visit orders.

The clothing that investors see in the showroom of the company is a good quality and inexpensive product with great profit margins.

When investors sign a distribution contract and pay 10 thousand -2 yuan at a time, the company will advise investors to go back to their old home to find a good shop and then deliver goods through a logistics company.

But in fact, most of these enterprises do not have the franchise qualification. Even if they are individually available, most of the products that investors receive are often outdated clothing with high quality and high price, which can not be used for sale again.

Don't believe in "low cost, high return".

Guangzhou industrial and commercial bureau and Guangzhou Municipal Council reminded investors not to believe in the investment promotion of "low cost and high return" to avoid loss of property.

If you want to buy the products of the clothing franchisee, you must deliver the goods hand in hand, and make sure that the goods can be paid for the board.

In the process of dealing with merchants, we should pay attention to collecting materials such as contracts, purchase vouchers, advertising and publicity materials, so as to submit them to the industry and commerce department or the Consumer Council as evidence in case of disputes, so as to improve the success rate of processing.
