  • If someone can be kind enough to give permission and maybe MSE can pick up on it that might get PayPal to sit up and take notice.
    As far as I can see it will only let you post an online link to the picture

    Might be worthwhile badgering Visa on Twitter/Facebook. It won't cost the banks anything, the loss should be absorbed by the merchant acquirer bank.

    PayPal plus all other banks are most likely genuinely waiting for a response from Visa and merchant acquirer. There will most definitely be collateral funds available in the merchant acquirers account, might be worthwhile finding out how much is in the pot and who the merchant acquirer actually is. My research has led me to believe that it's possibly jp morgan.

    If you want to post a picture you need to use a photo hosting site like photobucket or flikr and copy the URL across. Newbies can't post pictures, but if you put a broken link in, someone can put the picture up for you.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

  • I'm with Nationwide and have managed to receive my money back through charge back - Temporarily at least anyway!

    I spoke to them the day after lowcostholidays went into administration and was advised that the money would temporarily refunded to me within 10 working days. This didn't happen and I didn't get much response so contacted their complaints team. After going backwards and forwards sending them various bits of information the money has now been credited to me while they investigate.

    Hi meanderr,

    You can contact Visa here:

    Take a look at Visa UK (@VisaUK): twitter[dot] com/VisaUK?s=09

    Might be best to get some help initially from your daughter or perhaps one of the others on this board. Visa will take this seriously. If you look at their recent tweets they are heavily promoting Visa for use during the holiday season.
