Defiant woman marches into House of Fraser store and carries out a SOFA

A mother enlisted the help of her strong friends to dismantle a sofa in a House of Fraser store and transport it to her home after being told she would lose cash she paid for it when the chain went bust.  

When the chain collapsed into administration Fiona Boston, 52, claims the delivery date for the 'sofa of her dreams' was continually put back and she received no help from staff.

So Fiona, decided to get 'what was rightfully hers' and marched into the store with a group of friends who helped her take apart the sofa, before walking straight out of the front door with it and loading it into a van.

Fiona, from Hartburn, County Durham said: 'On July 26 I bought the sofa and chair. I'd had my eye on it for a couple of years, it was a perfect fit for my home.'

'I paid in cash and three days later I went back to buy some extras on my debit card which cost £715.'

Fiona claims the delivery dates for the furniture were continually put back.

She said she visited store on several occasions to ask when the furniture would be delivered and to check whether the sofa was still in store.

She said: 'My husband Alan had an aneurism last year and it's taking him a while to get back to full health, but he'd been sitting on deck chairs at home as we were still waiting. He deserved to be comfortable.

'I kept asking the manager and staff but they were saying everything was out of their hands.'
