Q: I was persuaded to put furniture in my name for somebody who said they would pay for it but they didn’t
They furniture place won’t go get the furniture instead they sent the account to their legal team what can I do
A:
Not much you can do except either 1) get the furniture back yourself and return it to the store, or 2) pay the bill. It's your name on the dotted line; your problem now.
When you signed for it, the store is holding you responsible for it. They don't care about who the furniture is with or how it came to be that you signed for it. If this other person showed a willingness to pay, the store would have let them buy the furniture; that they had to get you to buy it for them is a strong indicator that something like this was likely to happen. You are likely to discover this person is going to be more than willing to let you take the fall for all this and not help in anyway.
