wrong order and much more valuable made in error by them, unsolicited gift?

But he did, he asked a landlord and a stock exchange expert!

I think the stock exchange expert isn't what we assume, I don't think he dabbles on the FTSE, more like exchanging shady stock behind the local pub for cash in hand.

Seriously though Vinie, phone the retailer and come to some arrangement before it gets more serious.

This is quite interesting, coming from a guy whose other pieces of art involve obtaining goods by deception:

Will I go to Jail for writting this cheque! advice me please money saving experts. Hi,
I'm a newbie here so hope I didn't break any site rules with this new thread.
Right basically I need a basic kit to do a job that will pay for that piece of equipment and a little more but don't have the funds to buy that piece which will enable me do the job (catch 22)!
so in a recession times and when an overdraft or a loan isn't an option available for me 'desperate times call for desperate measures' I'm considering buying the kit with a cheque and a guarntee card up to £100 although the item is worth a few hundred pounds, now if something goes wrong or if
I don't get paid for the job then what can happen other than the bank will charge me for misusing the card/cheques or even closing the account and black listing me at worst case?
I'm enquiring about the law/legal part of it..would I be jailed for that or would i be issued with a county court order to payback in installment and maybe recover my possessions (probably by a debt collection agency associated with that retailer)!
although it would be kind to give me an advice to go ahead or not but thats not what I'm looking for here please. I just need to evaluate the risks vs reward for/by myself by finding out worst case scenario (legal and law consequences) many thanks for the advice which I'm hoping will come from people who know what they're talking about and not just guessing or un-sure %99.

Seems like somebody needs to get back on the straight and narrow

Can't belive this keeps on giving.

OP, you are stuffed. You better get it back, or get selling! When it goes to court you'll have to pay up, or have a CCJ if you don't.

A lesson to be learnt - don't be dishonest.

Perhaps the OP ordered a fake Rolex and a real one arrived by mistake?

Right.. Are you/were you guys like accountants and law students who never made it! So now you just hang around forums for hours daily and tell someone off for receiving the wrong delivery and using it while it hasn't been requested! You call me a thief!! Everyone I spoke to from a landlord to a stock exchange expert etc said keep it.. Wish at least one person said you can argue this or that as it would tell me something different about the kind of people i would be getting advice from
You have been watching too much judge Judy
But thank you for effort though

Have to love when they descend into childish insults just because they're told something they dont want to hear. We have no personal interest in this to colour our opinions.

And btw, Unsolicited Goods and Services Act states:

“unsolicited” means, in relation to goods sent to any person, that they are sent without any prior request made by him or on his behalf.

Please feel free to ask your "experts" what their sources are. If they say unsolicited goods act then I refer you to the above quotation.

Like I say - OP thinks the law is just something he needs to overcome - and he figures this is the place to get help with that
