... you can always return a completely sealed new item to them (usually anyway!)

Although 2 months later may be pushing the limits of their returns policy...

You have to pay for what you bought. However, alert the bank to ensure that 2 payments do not go through.
Paying for something you buy is not only legal it is ethical as well.

Let them take you to court and offer to pay a penny a month as settlement.


Then, off curse, do not apply for a new mortgage!

I would be surprised if they would take the op to court over such a small sum....

If i was the op i would ignore them for a month or so and get a feel for how much they are prepared to do for it.

I am one of the people that would also not really notice if payment had been taken or not. Only people who live hand to mouth check their statements all the time

Judging by what I've read on MSE the exact opposite is the case.

I f they had taken 2 payments instead you could have had a long wait before receiving your money back, big firms are notorious or delays when they have your money.
I would offer them a fiver a month

I sympathise with you here! I don't check my statements anywhere near as much as I should and would also just assume it was paid unless I heard otherwise.

Best just being honest and saying look I thought it was taken and don't really have the money and ask about paying it up. John Lewis customer service are pretty good.
