Of course you do not have to pay it. You were supplied a product by an authorised representative of the 'retailer' who informed you of a price.

They cannot subsequently increase the price beyond that which was originally agreed. To do so would be an offence under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations.

Bizarre that so many people who post on here have absolutely no grasp of the law.

The representative said he didnt know the price , but did say it wouldnt be £45.

The buyer agreed without knowing the price.

I think you are wrong

Thank you very much. The shitstorm I had to endure before someone posted a helpful reply was ridiculous. It seems obvious that it's not legal, but I just wanted clarification.

What if they turned around and told me that the bedding set was £800? What about £400,000? Do you (other repliers) still think I'm required to pay?

Besides, I bought a double duvet and cover, fitted (colourful) sheet and two pillows for £32 from Asda.

Broken English or not....he obviously didn't know the price and from what you have said he never gave you a definitive price. You have no rights here you will have to pay. Keep it and see if you can sell it on with a reduction but you will be able to claw some of your money back.

Bizarre that you don't see that the guard obviously didn't know the price,he said £20,£25 i don't know i will get the price tomorrow...he never commited to anything and left it open to go back with the correct price!

Why do you think one poster is correct (just because he agrees with you?) and everyone else is wrong

So you got the answer you wanted which ignore the actual reality.

Yes, but you would contest this as being vastly disproportionate and a court of law would agree.

Irrelevant

But hey when it goes to collections, thats your credit file screwed. Fort he sake of £15 Id settle.

So do I, but now the OP has found one person who agrees with them he'll no doubt continue in his belief that he is right :wall:

No body agreed a price, bizarre that one person thinks everyone else is wrong - clearly you haven't read the OP's first post correctly.
