    apparently the girl was misunderstood:eek: they are going to BACS transfer it onto my card, I hope it goes back today.

    Do you think it is worth sending a complaint.

    Thanks Kittie, I'll do the others bu postal order today x


    Id definatley complain thats a rather big misunderstanding.

    But instead of phoning it may be better to write a letter of complaint that way they cant misunderstand you complaint as a compliment. :rotfl:

    A BACS Transfer will probably take upto 3 banking days so you will probably be looking at tuesday next week before the money is back in your account. As it was there error tell them to make a CHAPS payment which is sameday.
  • I've been onto the bank a few times already but becuase it was a debit card transaction, it went through immediately. They gave me a number for Visa to call but I'll give the compnay till around 12 then call them back.

    With the greatest respect - let this experience be a lesson for the future, never pay debts using debit cards or anything like that....
  • I know b ut I've never ever had a problem before :-(
    postal orders are the way forward I think x

    Direct Debits are free, unlike Postal Orders, and the postage.

    Hi My, sorry to hear all this, was it an overseas call centre?:mad: Do you have a bank account? If you do, set up a standing order cos PO's will cost you! Its only 50p, but still! Do a SO rather than DD, as you will decide with SO how much to pay. And get yourself down to the Air Show weekend for some R & R;)
