Next Catalogue

dipsy81

Hi All

I don't know if I have put this in the correct place. But I wondered, has anyone seen a thread on the freebies regarding a FREE NEXT CATALOGUE? I only come on here for freebies and have received a next catalogue last month. I have now received a bill for it. It isn't even my correct address on the envelope! I only got it as my postman knows me.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

ps. I have put it on freebies just to see if i have answered a free catalogue if you buy something and i haven't read it properly, but still wondering why my address is incorrect.

I'm glad you posted about this as i received the Next books yesterday too complete with account number. I've never requested them as i couldn't afford them and i know i've never filled anything in online either. I rang them to ask where it had come from and why it had been sent to me and the woman said I must have filled out a form instore.

I told her there is no way that has happened as its been almost 2 years since I went into a Next store and I could even tell her which one it was.

I closed the account there and then on the phone :mad:

Oh and she asked me to return the catalogues and that they would send pre paid packaging in order to do it.

Hi Bravobeastie

Well I haven't even been in any Next shops, never bought anything whatsoever from them. I will be ringing them up myself today and ask them where they got my incorrect details from.

Not being funny, but I am so pleased I am not alone on this matter.

Well I threw mine out, never read any details as I knew I hadn't sent for it. So wonder what will happen there!

Could it be possible that a friend/colleague/someone you vaguely know signed you up as they do an offer whereby if you introduce people you get £5 credited to your account or something along those lines . Boden do a similar thing and I've heard of people getting cataloguies as some people were using their ebay transactions for names and addresses as you get £2.50 for each name and address that that isn't already on their system.

I know what you mean, I'm glad its not just me as well lol. I actually thought it was some kind of a referral thing (someone I fell out with last year and this is just the kind of childish thing they would do)

I didn't know that they bill you for the books, so it could be they are trying to make a few quid this way cause I sure as hell never requested a Next catalogue.

I wonder how many others this has happened to because if I hadn't seen your thread I wouldn't have thought to post about it on here!

Thats what I thought it was, but when I rang her she said it was filling out a form instore. I would think if it was a referral then that would be on their system and the letter they sent with the book may have said something about it?

When I looked through the book there was a flyer in there about recommending a friend and that when said friend made first order they would credit referrers account with £75

Do you guys enter any competitions from MSE? There was a competition the other day and entering it meant Next would send you a catalogue and set up an account. A few MSE-ers hadn't realised and got a catalogue in the post.

Hi, no I don't do the comps anymore. I did some up till about August last year

Thanks Ness13, I am going back to look and see if I have thanked the poster.

Yes, it was from a comp - I think it was to win a voucher for £500 or so.

I left it as I didn't want to pay for this catalogue. Will try to find it.

Hi Moneymaker

I have had a look, I normally hit the "Thanks" button when I correspond to anything and I haven't on this occassion. So I don't know if it is from the comp or not!

But thank you for finding it, I had been on here 3 hours and still didn't find it.
