Trading Standards Remove Items From Former Furniture Store
Written by HFM News on 14th September 2022
Leicestershire Trading Standards have removed items from a former furniture store in Market Harborough as part of ‘enquiries’ into the company.
The officers were supported by Leicestershire Police when they visited the former Furniture Loft premises on Riverside, which closed in July.

A number of items were taken from the premises and loaded into vans on Friday.
Dozens of customers were left without goods they had paid for and told they would not get refunds, when the company announced it was ceasing trading in June.
Those who had paid for furniture with credit or debit cards had to try and claim money back from their banks.
A number of complaints were subsequently made to the Trading Standards service, operated by Leicestershire County Council.
The Council has not provided any more details about the nature of their enquiries.
A spokesman told HFM: “Trading Standards are unable to comment on the visit to Furniture Loft due to ongoing enquiries with the company.”
