I bought a fridge from harveynorman, when I received it i noticed there aresome scratches on the back, i notified them immediately and they agreed to pay me $250 as damage allowance but when I went there the counter paid me $2099 by mistake. They have now threatened me to return the money back otherwise they would pass it to debt collector, just wanna know if they can do that?

Yes. You need to repay the money.

All except the $250, yes.
Don't do this online - go into the store and get a physical receipt
