*You do not have any responsibility for the goods, as long as there is reason to believe that, for example, is delivered to the wrong address.
*If you meet the payment claims from one, you should provide the information that you are not going to pay, and that there is no agreement.
*It is the seller who may need to demonstrate that an agreement exists.
*Often, the seller may have sent a completed agreement where it says that you must contact within two weeks if you do not want to be bound by the agreement.
*The contact information provided to the seller is often a phone number or an email that is not in use. You have thus not possible to say from you agreement. This is no legal way for the seller to make a deal, and you are not bound by such an agreement.
*If the seller sends the case to a collection agency, you should contact inkassobyrået and make them aware that the claim is disputed. The debt collection company has then not allowed to recover the claim.
