I dont know if this is the right place for this and if not then please move.
Basically my brother and his girlfriend have got a new sofa being delivered soon which they have got on a 0% interest credit agreement.
However as none of them can get credit my dad went with them and took the credit out for them on the understanding that they were to give him what it costs each month. (I think its about £60 for 12 months).
Now she has kicked my brother out and so they will not be paying the money to my dad as agreed.
Can he call up the sofa company and explain the situation and tell them he no longer wants the sofa or as he has signed the credit agreement is he going to have to pay for a sofa he doesnt actually need?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I think you should be looking at the Order Form, there should be information there about Cancellation of Orders and any time limits and/or charges.
Dont delay though.

And just to add in, as your dad signed for it, he is the one liable for paying for the sofa. So if he can't be cancelled he will still have to pay/deal with the matter himself.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

Hey, there should be some form of 'cooling off' period, check it out, ring the company, or go into the shop and speak to a sales colleague.
I work in a pc shop, and a guy took a finance out on a pc, didn't open the box or anything, but a week later came back, we were able to cancel it for him by contacting the credit company get him to see if they can do something similar?
