I did sign for it, however the funny thing is they have never been able to get my name right. So it came as Shawn Hut...

Shawn Hut...I don't know any Shawn Hut's, I am Shaun ----..Shawn Hut must have just moved out

They also have my credit info just in my Xbox Live account so I don't know if the repair place and xbox live would share info like that. I would assume they can't?

Anyways I followed Ken's advice and sent a letter off today. It was short but to the point. Just saying that they had sent me an unwanted item, gave description with serial number, and told them that if I didn't not receive shipping instructions with a box & pre paid postage by April 5th (made it the last day of the season ) that it would either be destroyed or become the property of the home owner at that time.

Hopefully that covers my @$$....

You are clear. They can't charge your credit card on a whim, which you gave to them for a completley unrelated purpose. They could however punt you from xbox live. It was their mistake, you have taken reasonable steps to rectify their error. Wait until you get the RROD again and send them back that one.

call xbox live and remove your credit card from their system. Then when you account is going to expire, go buy a 1 year subscription card from future shop or best buy. That way they don't have your cc on file.

Ahh, so even if they do send you something requesting it back you have this double negative to fall back on, and keep it anyway. Good thinking

Yes, please. The lack of closure in this thread is distressing me.

Ditto, you could cut the suspense with a knife.

LOL No I never heard a word from them and nothing charged to my card that I noticed, *runs to check*, nope nothing at all.

I ended up giving it to my little brothers who are now enjoying it.

WOOOOHOOOOO FREE XBOX 360!!!
