Whizz Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 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.

freds dad Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) 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, 2017 by freds dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salford Trotter Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 It's an unauthorised debit from your account so you can take them through the small claims track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no balls Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 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/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no balls Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 P.S. Why the fuck would anyone want to nick 3 tv remotes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPS Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 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?

birch-chorley Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted April 14, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2017 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!
