April 14, 20179 yr 6 of us stayed over in Blackpool last Saturday night after playing cricket there. The hotel was a shithole, which we weren't bothered about but then on Sunday they emailed me saying we had caused damage to one of the rooms and we had stolen 3 tv remotes which they would be charging me for. All untrue. I asked them to provide evidence as the rooms they said weren't ours. Anyhow they've charged my debit card with £150 Any advice here? Other than posting my shit through the letterbox.

Report them to the police and tell them that you are doing it
April 14, 20179 yr Also tell the bank you haven't approved the payment and search for the hotel on the interweb to see if they've done this before. Edited April 14, 20179 yr by freds dad
April 14, 20179 yr It's an unauthorised debit from your account so you can take them through the small claims track
April 14, 20179 yr It's an unauthorised debit from your account so you can take them through the small claims track It's not if they have this policy in their small print. Most big hotels have this but a shitty Blackpool gaff, they're taking the piss. Contact Blackpool council tourism department and report them http://www.visitblackpool.com/about/
April 14, 20179 yr Cheers. Exactly, why nick tv remotes. Clearly a scam. They also said they had to reimburse a room as we kept them up til 4am. Didn't get in til 4:45
April 14, 20179 yr Go to your bank ASAP they will refund you and save the hassle going through various different channel. Echoing above say it was an unauthorised payment. Bunch of wankers.

Contact Blackpool council tourism department and report them http://www.visitblackpool.com/about/ Agreed but if they can't prove their case then it will be unauthorised.
April 14, 20179 yr You get none of this shit if you stay at Uncle Brians Aye because no one dares complain about unauthorised payments from arse ticklers faggots fan club
April 14, 20179 yr Ive emailed them with threats of going to some of the suggested. I've emailed booking.com who it was booked through. Will go to the bank on Tuesday. Will tweet the Blackpool tourism board.
April 14, 20179 yr get our man in Blackpool on the case with human shit letter box style and next time always pay cash
April 14, 20179 yr Maizies Lodge Was a dive but we knew that. One review on trip advisor. Which goes on about parking. What did it used to be called?
April 14, 20179 yr Just playing Devil's Advocate here. So you got in at 4.45am - perhaps you woke the other guys, not kept them awake til 4am, and the hotel just misspoke when talking to you? And given you got in at 4.45am, I'm guessing you weren't all stone-cold sober? Perhaps there's a chance that one of your six DID do something a little untoward?

April 14, 20179 yr Your bank card should be with the likes of visa or MasterCard, report it to your bank and they make sure the payment is held & investigated Won't do the vendor any favours, if they have above a certain % of fraudulent transactions the card machine is pulled (if the bank agrees it was fraudulent) P.s never stay in shit hotels, just not worth it, you might as well go home
April 14, 20179 yr I once stayed in a shit hotel in Bournemouth. Building work on some floors, that type of thing. Free parking though which was a bonus. On the check-out day, I asked if my car would be ok staying put while we had a walk around Bournemouth. "No problem at all," I was told by the Indian owner.Two weeks later, I got a bank statement with a £20 deduction. It said the name of the hotel and I knew I hadn't actually spent on the card so I phoned them. It was for an extra three hours parking beyond my check-out time.I got in touch with RBS Visa and they reimbursed it but what a cheeky set of wankers!
April 14, 20179 yr P.s never stay in shit hotels, just not worth it, you might as well go home Do you recommend any particular chain? ????
April 14, 20179 yr Do you recommend any particular chain? ???? Funny you should say that I find that you can't go wrong with a Hilton :-)
