Online purchase 10 mos later say we have to pay

Ridiculously idiotic advice since the OP acknowledges buying and receiving the product

There are rights of consumers that allow someone to ask questions when it comes to even online purchases. There are also settlements that companies will make when they are in error. People have rights to ask questions and hope for the best, not to get S hit when asking for a better way from a free advice forum. Your answers are probably the easy for you or any monkey to come up with.. maybe someone should give some thought to their post instead of saying "pay it". Clearly paying it is the OP last resort and he's looking for a better alternative than that, which is human freakin nature.

Many stores include links for help if you have questions about an order.

This one is taken from walmart.com

What confirmations should I expect once I've placed an order?
You will receive an email within 24 hours of placing an order. If you paid by credit card, and your credit card was approved, this email will confirm your order. Otherwise, it will notify you that the credit card failed and will give you instructions on how to resubmit your payment. Once your order ships, your credit card will be charged, and a shipment confirmation email will be sent.

Of course they have a top of the line shopping cart software which protects them from shipping an order if there is a mistake.

Using your logic, that makes OP a thief, since OP has clearly stated that the merchandise has been received but not paid for.

Come on, Geekess, nothing he said here is wrong

You entered into a contract to purchase something. The statute of limitations on contracts in NC is 3 years. Does that answer your question?

Are you an idiot? If the OP didn't pay, the OP owes it. Paying it is NOT a last resort, it is a FIRST resort. And, trying to get one over on the vendor is NOT human nature...just yours.

I'm not going to argue human nature with you Mr. Zinger, but if you would indulge me please read the last post on the yahoo website below. I found it well written.

Online Purchase 10 mos later say we have to pay

Hi Everyone,
Well I'm sorry this has turned into a stone throwing issue. I was hoping that the maturity would come out.

I appreciate the kind response from the person that offered it. Thanks. They sent me an invoice via e-mail 10 mos later when all along it was paid for in my mind. Now they demand payment immediately after showing up with this 10 mos later.

The issue is for me is their irresponsibility about this. Blaming me - when it was their system. I offered to pay it back in Feb and never heard back for weeks into March and now again demanding I pay for it immediately. Well L my partner is very sick and has been with pneumonia for 2 mos. She has been taking care of our 4 yr. old by herself as I work 2 jobs and I she told them when she gets better she will call in the cc. They have threatened to charge her business cc without her permission.(my personal cc was originally used) Which is two seperate accounts and this was my order and not related at all to her biz. ( we are not married and this is not my biz so I don't think they can do that?) All I ask them for is a little time. I'm tired of the rude an accusatory e-mails.

So, I'm wanting to know exactly what the law states b/c if they do charge her biz cc without her permission etc. If they can wait 10mos to send me a notice that they had a glitch in their shopping cart and it didn't go through the entire steps to charge the card correctly - then why is it I'm the one that is the bad guy and can't ask for a couple of weeks to get her well so that we can get this taken care of.

As rude as they have been I would love to have the law on my side so that I can put a stop to this rude e-mails they are sending.

So now that I've had to go through the entire story****************************... b/c some of you are so quick to jump in a judge.. I've purchased online before for years now and I thought that the company had to clear payment before shipping if you ship it unpaid your out of luck unless the person just feels obligated to pay.

The only proof they have is a confirmation from my order. It wasn't my cc's fault it didn't go through it could have if their system had worked. The cc company told us that the purchase wasn't ever put through for approval. So, their system was clearly the issue. Is there not a statue of limitations etc.

And I'm curious about this. Never said I wasn't going to pay - not trying to wiggle out etc.

I think that since no one is certain what the law is - I'll contact the attorney general's office they have an online section.

The law about what?

You ordered. They delivered. You owe them the money.

We are all quite certain of what the law is. You ordered and agreed to pay for something, but you have not paid! They have 3 years to go after you. This will end up hurting you far more in the long run if you don't pay the bill.

You were given the proper legal advice, you just didn't like what you heard.

I bet you a venti latte that you will be back here in a few months asking questions about how to remove this debt from the credit

As you have been told - you received the legally accurate advice already.

Jeff is just trying to throw in his idiotic opinion as to human nature somehow justifies breaking the law. Ignore him.

Well not sure about correct legal advice. I'm very doubtful about that. It's hard to take you serious when you call people idiots and make huge assumptions. Also, reading my posts ? I said that they were threatening to charge someone else's card without permission - not very ethical company. I also stated that I had offered to pay back in Feb. Sorry you don't read my posts. I've contacted another legal service. You know what I've got much more experience than you give me credit and am fully aware of how to get something off my credit. It might be hard for them to find a way to put it on my credit report but if they do that is fine. It's not a big deal. It wasn't even that much and I have e-mails to prove my story. I'm not the least concerned about my credit score it is high enough to not really do much in lowering it. Good Try! Thanks to the kind person that had some maturity about them!

You are an idiot! What you want is someone to tell you that you don't have pay. Others as well as I have given you good legal advice, you just didn't want to listen because it didn't include you not having to pay. You ordered something and think that because of a computer glitch you don't have to pay. Well if they had waited over three years, you wouldn't have. As I pointed out, THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS on contracts is 3 years in your state. When you ordered whatever it was, you entered a contract to pay for the thing they delivered.
