Nothing fraudulent about keeping unsolicited goods, unless you can show me an example of someone who's been convicted of this 'crime'?0

i dont take anythink of any1 unless thay give it to me and thay did i never told them to send me another 1 out i waited 6 weeks for them to send my money back to me and thay had time to sort it out am not a scumbag you know just some 1 who as not got a lot of money
Strange you should mention it but my idea of a scumbag is usually someone who knowingly takes something that doesn't belong to them then tries to scam a way out of paying for it by blaming someone else, then trying to worm out of taking responsibility for thier dishonesty.
But that's all academic anyway because you're not a scumbag, just sum 1 wot as not got a lot of money innit.
I'm sure you can work out what 'irony' is.0 -

IMO the OP is a troll or scum, either way, not worth wasting your time over as they will do precisely what they want anyway.Wiggly:heartpulsFB0

Okay, well I certainly agree on moral grounds that the OP should have had the good grace to contact the company as soon as she got home & realised that her mate had signed for a sofa that she wasn't willing to pay for.
However, she didn't, and has been using it (and lets face it, how many of us live in a big enough house where we could comfortably store an extra sofa?)
What happens when she does the decent thing, and arranges a collection of this item, and the company realise that it's been in use?
Will she be obliged to pay for it as she's been using it?All posts made are my own opinions and constitute neither professional advice nor the opinions of my employers

I don't see why not. They can take her to court to get payment if they chose to so i think she should pay up now and stop looking for a way to get out of doing so.0

Just a couple of points:
1. Its not just moral but LEGAL grounds.
2. Not many people DO have room for an extra sofa which is why most people with half a brain would have contacted the company involved to arrange collection straight away to get it out of the way. Charging storage would possibly have been an option as others have said to hasten this along.
3. They're not REALLY doing the decent thing are they? They have just been caught out.
I cannot believe how many people there have been on all parts of the forums recently posting this sort of crap - from people whinging on the ebay forum about being caught out selling counterfeit goods to this sort of self-indulgent rubbish, why if people are unsure don't they ask advice BEFORE they get caught?
If the op is genuine and not a troll then I hope the company take her to court and sue her for the full price. I think its just a shame she didn't receive a dictionary by mistake although I doubt she would have used that "around 20 times".You can't go wrong with carpet bombing...0 -
