To think Next can’t charge me for a lost parcel and the replacement amounting to £1500!

Please help!

I purchased a pushchair from next over 3 weeks ago, on my credit account, with a view to spreading the cost over a couple of month, and I was meant to be delivered by DPD a few days later.

It suddenly stopped tracking in some warehouse 250 miles from me, saying there was a delay. I called DPD and it turns out the parcel had gone missing from this depot.

A missing parcel case was opened, and I contacted Next to give them this information. Including the lost parcel case number.

They agreed to send a replacement and take over the case for the missing parcel, since the contact for delivery was between those two parties.

Got my pushchair fine, then I logged into my Next account to find I was over my credit limit and had both pushchairs on my account Angry my minimum payment also reflects both with the interest added too. Plus it can’t look great on my good credit file.

I was never told this when I called, nor did I agree to it!

I called and was told it will readjust in a few days. It hasn’t. Now I’m being told I need to wait for them to finish this lost parcel investigation. I ask for calls back and no one calls me.

This doesn’t seem right or legal to me? Can anyone advise? I’m fed up of Next giving me the run around Sad

Desperate to sort this Sad

Any progress OP? Hope so, what a nightmare!

Any progress OP?

For anyone wondering, my deleted post contained a link to another site where the OP received lots of help and useful information on this problem and didn't actually bother to come back. So don't hold your hopes out.

How rude to ask a site full of consumer experts to give their time to help and then just fuck off without a thank you and start a thread on another site.

AdobeWanKenobi - Yes, I read your other reply, I was Mamageebo (nc'd since then) I advised the Op to contact Next Senior Enquiry Team as I had experienced similar poor service from them and my problem was sorted out immediately with compensation. I do hope she has had her problem sorted out by Next - she was obviously very worried and I, too would be very interested to know the outcome after I passed on phone number/contact details for Next.

I’m having the exact same problem but with £200 of goods in a parcel that arrived half full. They’ve text me(!!) to say sorry you were charged with items you didn’t receive, we have adjusted your account... but they haven’t refunded my account!! Been waiting for a call back for three days and have rang six times Angry

Amandhu - it's worth trying the Senior Enquiry Team or you could start by making a complaint which you can do on the Next website - there is a form for it on the website, that's what I did originally, then the Senior Enquiry Team contacted me directly and soon sorted out my problem.

Thank you @callywalls - will be my port of call tomorrow!
