    Hi why are your credit cards not working? Have you tried contacting them on social media? Could you close your accounts and have the balance forwarded to you? You have broken their T&C's by putting the card into a positive balance I'm 49 year old

    Unfortunately it's not unheard of for queued calls (to institutions in general, not necessarily Tesco specifically) to take over an hour before being answered, so if you continue to hold you should get there eventually.

    Having said that, if you keep getting cut off, or don't get promised callbacks, then insist on the front line customer service team logging a formal complaint for you:

    The process of a credit balance refund is a routine one that shouldn't be difficult!

    Have you asked customer service to refund the over payment? Or have they said that you need to speak to security re this? 

    If it is the latter all you can really do other than the above, is keep trying & just wait. It could be they feel that something is not right with the double payment.
    Were the payments from the same account?
