If it's the case that you have never had any correspondence with this company then under the Unsolicited Goods and Services Act 1971 (as amended) it is an offence to demand payment for goods known to be unsolicited, in other words, they were sent to a person without any prior request made by them or on their behalf.
DH, Glasgow Consumer law expert Kally Singh, at solicitors Hegarty in Peterborough, suggests the best way of dealing with this is to send the firm a recorded delivery letter, asking it to pick up the unsolicited goods.
According to the Unsolicited Goods and Services Act, you are under no obligation to pay people who send you something you have not ordered.
