    They can, happens all the time :rolleyes: ;)
    yes especially me
    strange isnt it
    must be to do with my karma.
  • Well if you follow constantines approach and to be honest it seems the simplest and most obvious surely they would give you £100 back. 10 bunches overcharged by 5 each. Simple isn't it?, is there really any need to complicate it any further than that.
    My only question really is what happens if you return the product for a refund, what do they give you back, the correct price or the amount on your receipt?
    I had a plan..........its here somewhere.

    and would that be a silver r+r?:D :D:D :cool: :cool: :cool:
  • All my stores still have R&R up on the board, plus paying up R&R.....

    I know it probably won't last much longer, but it has been good, especially the last few weeks when caution has gone to the wind. I have my eye on something which is on offer until next week, so fingers crossed that I can finish on a high.:D

    Oh well, back to coupons/vouchers and the Mega Reductions........Maybe I should start knitting scarves to make a few extra pennies with all this spare time I will have, now I don't spend hours on here ;)

    You are getting double the difference back, so are in effect paying less than the advertised price.
    Difficult to know without seeing the wording but I not sure the law would see it that way.
    The price sold is the price sold.
    The compensation is compensation.

    The store must comply with the law in regard to the sale price.

    The compansation is a voluntary addition to the contract made at the till.

    As an example if I take Tesco to court for a £100 refund they refused to give me and the court finds in my favour I get the £100.
    If the court also awards the costs this is in addition to the £100 not taken as part of the £100 you're already getting.

    Also if I claim £25 compensation for my time in court and it is awarded this is paid in addition to the original £100 and is not considered to be part of the £100.

    All depends on the wording I guess.

    I think whatever it says it will be open to interpretation.
