    Also cancelling the card will not work ,the claimant will get the funds from the bank and then they will chase you, if what you are suggesting worked people could shop in the morning and cancel the card at lunchtime and walk away from the debt.
    The card has been cancelled and a block placed by my bank against any further funds being taken
    my bank advised that they would need to get card details from Visa then attempt to charge again.

    Was the villa occupied by just two people?  You have said it wasn't occupied by the six mentioned by the villa owner but did you have 3/4/5 people there?  
    Can you explain why they think more than two people stayed?
    I suspect more to the story.

    You were asked this question before the post you did choose to answer:

    Any ideas why the villa owners would think that there were 6 guests? number of beds used? any social media that may have pictures of more than 2 guests at the property?

    So...why do the villa owners think that there 6 people staying at the villa rather than 2?

    Why do I get the feeling that the OP will never answer the important questions?

    Is it just because the "advice given by the bank" is so incorrect?

    The OP seems very reticent to answer the important question !
    I guess there is more to this than we are being told

    Typical instance of the OP not liking the nature of the responses ?

    I think this is going to be one of those posts that we never get to hear the full/correct story or ending.
