Exactly - I agree 100% (as before)... they bank would not say retain this card just for going £1 overlimit - it'd have to be either fraud, cancelled card or abuse of terms that would warrant such action....

Then what's the argument about !!!!!!?

I'm gonna go get some breakfast....

I work in a merchant (a large PLC company) and we use HSBC for our card transactions. If they ask us to retain a card, which is never the customers property as they all belong the the isuing bank, they pay the individual cashier that retains the card £50!!!!

In probably 90% of situations where you're asked to retain, it's as the card has been reported stolen.

So on the flip side, when it's not just some bank mix-up, they're asking cashiers to confiscate something off a potential criminal. And still you think this is a reasonable practice? Don't you think the police should be involved rather than putting the cashier at risk?

No it seems fine to me.

Most crims would just GTFO rather than argue for the card back.

Slightly confused why you're trawling through all my posts trying to pick fault!

Anyway, in case you're a little slow, I'll re-word that sentence for you:

Most bad men who have done naughty things and taken the nice man's credit card without his permission would just run run run, right out of the shop in case the nee naw's come rather than than say "Please Mr shop keeper, can I have my card back?"
