How long can you use receipts to get a refund? I have discovered a pile of reciepts in my bedroom. Unless there is a specific written guarantee, how long can you use them to get a refund?
You have up to 6 years to make a claim under the Sale of Goods Act, however do note that you don't need a receipt to exercise your rights - any proof of purchase will do.

There are no relevant 'sections' so to speak, however you'll find that proof of purchase is the only requirement to make a claim. This covers receipts, bank statements, CCTV recordings, transaction details and anything else that proves that the purchase was made.
I'm not a fan of receipts. I think it's a waste of paper. If people want receipts they can specifically ask for them. Think how many people throw away receipts!
Such a waste of paper, the amount of times I see people walk out the shop and put it straight in the bin...I say no receipt thanks at the checkout unless buying something expensive.
Honestly, I keep them around until it’s time to clear them out for the year. You would not believe the number of times that people have demanded receipts, even if I could show that the charge was made to my credit card. Even though they might feel useless, I still would rather keep them.
