Business ProfileforAlways Less Than Apple LLC

The seller sold me a computer on 07/20/2022 that was originally owned by the ****************************, rendering it unusable. I was not aware of this until on 10/5/23 a message appeared on the screen saying this computer was owned by a charter school and I was unable to have access to the computer since then. Despite its apparent issues and potential theft history, the seller refused to ***** a refund due to the expiration of the 90-day return period. Here's a breakdown of how events unfolded:1) When I first raised the issue that the computer was registered to a charter school, the seller advised me to perform a factory reset. After following their instructions, the initial message I received still indicated that the computer belonged to the charter school, and I remained unable to use it.2) In my frustration, I requested to return the computer, but the seller declined my request.3) Seeking a resolution, I contacted the manufacturer, Apple. However, Apple informed me that they couldn't bypass the configurations set by the **************************** and file a claim with Amazon as there was nothing they could do.4) I relayed this information to the seller, expressing my concerns about potentially possessing a stolen computer and my inability to use it. Despite this, the seller persisted in refusing a refund due to the expired 90-day period.5) Faced with a seemingly stolen computer and being locked out of it, I had no choice but to contact Amazon directly to file a claim.6) Amazon informed me I could not file a claim because it has been more than 30 days since purchasing the computer.8) I attempted to file a claim with my credit card but was unable to because the 180-day period to file a claim had expired.I would have never bought the computer if I knew it was owned by a charter school in *******. The seller does not want to take any responsibility for selling computers owned by other organizations and does not want to refund me the $1,176.99.
