Please help - Amazon

OP yes, I believe you should raise this with Amazon, as wealdroam says, sort out your bank charges with your bank, if they will refund or not as this should be the basis for your request to Amazon. I think the flaw here is they are changing address, bank etc and then selling a high value product without significant checks.

Speak to your bank.

Helpful, well done for being so explanatory in your post. Maybe next time don't bother posting unless you explain why the bank should be used.

BTW, less than £366 in the bank when you're about to have a baby is not "plenty of money".

Quite literally the rudest thing posted on here in quite a while.

Quite frankly it makes you look like a complete idiot, so thank you for leaving it up here so it could be quoted and you couldn't do your keyboard warrior run away...

Amazon could argue that their customers shouldn't be allowed to get away with passwords that can be guessed/hacked, 8 months pregnant or not.........

Not always the case. Anyone accessing wifi in public when they leave accounts logged in are at risk from hacking.

speak to Amazon and ask for £60 in amazon vouchers as compensation.

Where did this number come from?

Does any sensible person actually do this?

How dare you! This is such a nonsense thing to say!
and how disrespectful towards the OP.
and, surprise-surprise, you seem to rack 10-15 posts each working day...One of those knowledgeable regulars whose primary function is to intimidate OPs enough so they do not ask for any compensation...
You obviosly do not seem yo be able yo comprehend that a person can have a different account, a saving one with £100000000000 in it, but with limits to withdrawals - such as losing interest if withdraw. So plenty of money for real emergencies but no money to satisfy amazon's extravaganza.
However, people who have lots of money on savings accounts tend to b too busy to have 4000 posts a year on a forum... So, I understand that you did not understand the OP.

I've plenty of money, thank you. Enough not to have to work since having my daughter - I work if and when I want to.

It wasn't my intention to be rude. But there's no way I'd leave myself with such a small amount of accessible money when a life changing thing is about to happen. The OP says she has money elsewhere but it's not instantly accessible. Part of being financially smart is having access to emergency money should you need it. So I have some "locked away" money, and some current account money, but also some instantly accessible money. Penalties for moving money aren't likely to be close to the costs of an unauthorised overdraft.

Anyway, apologies OP. I didn't intend to be rude. Good luck with the baby.

Sound a good number is not too low as 50 but not as high as 100 and its not a round number like 75

Thanks for the apology but i still dont get why its necessary to have 'plenty' of money in my bank account just because I'm about to have a baby?! Baby has all the essentials already, and what things associated just with a baby would be immediately necessary that i needed plenty of money in my account! My partner has access to money in his account so theres no real panic. Why when i have gone through years of debt that are now all cleared do i need an overdraft!? I don't and will not ever get one again, if amazon hadnt taken the money and my bank hadnt of let me go overdrawn there would be no problem! I cannot at all see where i am at fault, unless its my fault i dont want to be in debt!?

Well, you are the one that said "So for 5 days ive had no money due to their mistake!" which made it sound like it was a real panic. If it wasn't then there was really no need for you to say you had no money.

Clearly none of it is your fault, and probably if you ask nicely Amazon will offer some sort of goodwill payment.
