Unwanted Deliveries

[Dagman]

Hi, my b.i.l is receiving various unpaid for random items by courier, they have been ordered under an account set up in his name but he has no such account or desire for the items. We have told the sender last week and they said they are looking into it, however they still come! The police aren't interested, the calls to the sender have so far amounted to £15 on a premium number. We are to try rejecting the courier drop off with proof it has gone back, but I can imagine a snag with the courier not having anything in place for this or something. Any other suggestions welcome, forewarned and forearmed.... Thanks.

is he being charged for these items? Anyway just write back by snail mail telling them that you are charging them £100 a day storage.

Thanks both, sorry for late reply, been on school run. Since my post, the courier has been, b.i.l rejected parcels (3 this time). Courier was Hermes, took delivery back, left proof printout, the origin is a company called JD? They are supposed to have cancelled the account. We'll see! Could be right about "brushing" hopefully the company will sort it, they'll soon get sick of the returns otherwise. Having the proof from the courier is good. Thanks for your replies.

Am not convinced about the brushing idea. What do sellers get out of it? If there going to give rave posative feedback its an expensive way of getting it... unless the free items are off very little value?

[bookbinder]

Might this be the company?

Is it this company? I can’t see them being involved with anything remotely dodgy. https://www.jdwilliams.co.uk/

[bobbinwales]

More likely jd sports

[Dagman]

JD Williams. They sell allsorts apparently.

Various ways to contact JDWilliams.

I've dealt with them for years with no issue.

[Dagman]

Thanks Mamya, I will give him the info.

[bobbinwales]

As he actually been billed for any of these?
Might be worth doing a quick credit refarence check to see if someone as opened an account in he's name and address

[zebo]

Are JD Williams not one of those old catalogue companies, Gratten etc? Could someone be carrying out a series of pranks? I'm now ashamed to admit that we did that when we were at school to a couple of teachers! Not even sure if catalogue companies still exist.

[Dagman]

Credit statements are ok, changed card and pin in case. JD account was opened using a false name.

[bobbinwales]

Well he can't be charged for them so just write a tell them to not send or youll refuse them or post them back no stamp or destroy. Won't affect his credit rating

Don't dispose of the goods - you can if it is an unsolicited parcel that the retailer has billed you for in an attempt to make a sale but that isn't the case here.
Somebody has set your BiL up either as a prank or maliciously. Tell him to contact JD Williams using any of the ways in Mamya's link. Hopefully they will arrange collection of the goods and stop sending them. He also needs to be reassured that his bank details haven't been given as a payment method.
