ASDAs have over charged me by 100 times

I recently bought some shopping online via asda.co.uk the shopping and everything else was fine (invoice). Next couple of days when I was charged they had taken 100 times the amount that should of been taken. Now the interest is growing on that debt at £5 p/day the company responsible was suppose to contact me today.

To put it into retrospective I was suppose to pay £57.27 put they had taken £5,727.0 out of my bank and now I'm screwed.

    Hmmmm.

    Have you tried calling them?
  • I went to see customer services at my local ASDA their supervisor had contacted the place that deals with their online service.

    OP, what do you expect people on a forum to do?

    Get back onto ASDA and do not stop taking to them until they have refunded your money.

    They have made a mistake and will reimburse you for your bank charges I'm sure.

    Clearly customer services within a store aren't the right people to be talking to.

    Get on to both Head Office and your bank and dispute the transaction.

    Just make sure your credit files are not damaged by this incident.

    Good job it wasn't a thousand times overcharge then, your bank account would now be down by £57,270.

    Funnily enough though, I don't know anyone with an amount of that size sitting in their current account, ready to be accessed by their bank as and when a retailer asks for it. Actually, I don't know anyone with £5,720 sitting in their current account either, ready to be etc etc.

    Assuming that you haven't got (a) a hell of an overdraft facility or (b) a hell of an imagination, then I think commonsense would surely have already told you to ring your bank . ??

    Could you not go on their website and see if the shopping you paid £5700 for the few things you bought is cheaper with their competitors, funnily enough I think it might be and you can get a nice voucher from them for £5700ish and then get a refund for overcharging...lol
