Imagine making a purchase and being told it won't be delivered but you still have to pay.
Refuse to pay? Then you'll be getting a call from debt collectors.
That's what's happening to former Sears Canada customers now that the department store chain has gone out of business.
They're being forced to pay for extended warranties that are no longer being serviced.
Mike Albani of Richmond Hill, Ont., bought four high-end kitchen appliances from Sears in September 2015 and took delivery in March 2016.
He said he was encouraged to buy a 48-month extended warranty, at a cost of $724.28 including HST, and that the salesperson told him if he didn't use the warranty, the amount would be refunded in Sears gift cards when it expired.
Guess what happened?
