When does CoP expire?

MummyDrusilla

I've got a massive pile of Proof of Postages that I'm a bit scared to throw away 'just in case'!!! How long do they last for? I've got 60 days in my head but not sure if I've made it up.

TIA

I keep mine for a minimum of 180 days as that is how long a claim for fraudulent use of a card can be made and you'd need POP to win such a claim.

Ah, never thought of that. 6 months then.......my pile's gonna get huge. Must find bigger clip!!!

Paypal no longer have a time limit for chargeback claims

The card issuer sets the timeframe for disputing chargebacks. If you don't respond within 10 days, we may not be able to help you try to recover the funds.

An example being Lloydstsb/Halifax Terms&Conditions:

6.4 Refunds for payments
(a) If you become aware of a transaction by way of
automated payment or card transaction which has
not been properly authorised or has been incorrectly
executed on your account you must notify us by
phoning us (see our contact details). This notification
must be provided as soon as you become aware of
the error and in any event within 13 months of the
date the transaction is debited to your account. If
you do not notify us, you will not be entitled to a
refund under this condition 6.4

Good grief, I have box loads of the things, half a shed load in fact and it is a bit worrying if I have to keep adding to them and can't throw any away - eek

Luckily Now I am using the bulk COPs I won't have so many as each sheet takes 30 addresses and a single sheet is easier to store.
