Undercharged. Rights?

cliffjb · 2017-02-06 17:23:38

Hi there, a friend of mine has just bought an item in-store which was advertised and sold at £5,000. This was run through the till/card machine at £500 and duly paid for but we only noticed this after making payment and leaving the store. Does anyone know what the legal situation regarding this is, ie. underpayments, etc.?

Even if you looked at the PIN pad, you would be expecting to see £5000.00 and it's not beyond the realms of possibility that if it actually showed £500.00 the error may not be noticed.

Or you initially chanced your luck and now feeling a tad guilty.

I hate these sort of threads - makes you wonder about the moral compass of some people.
