im looking for some advice,
i received a parcel to my house from some catalouge company but it wasnt in my name but it was my address i rang the catalouge as the person never lived on my street and hadnt lived in the house previously.
they came out twice but each time i missed tehm as they came while i was out as usual they come out when most people are at work. anyway i rang them again as i wa sdue to move and told them they had 7 days to collect or i would leave the parcel at the house and just go. (the parcel was in my way for around 2 months) anyway they never came back out.
when i moved my ll told me house had to be completely empty so i couldnt leave a massive box there so i put it in the outhouse.
its been a month since ive moved so i now dont no weither or not the parcel has been collected and tbh i dont care as its not my problem.
my question is wheer do i stand? if they havent collected the parcel and the next tenants or ll take it can they chase me for it? they dont have my new address although if they write to me my ll will pass on my new address, tehy have my name thats it, can they make me pay for the items as if tehy have collected the stuff i have no proof as i wasnt der for them to leave a receipt if they have collected

Yup, forget about it completely, you have no responsibility for the item at all, so they can't (and wont) ever come after you for it...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

Hi zoelouise88,
If you did not order the goods then they are unsolicited and it is an offence for the trader to chase you for payment for them under the Unsolicited Goods and Services Ac . I wouldn't worry about it.0 -
thanks all, will just forget about it now Wins for 2011: ........................
