    I don't recognise a payment on my account. What should I do?

    If you’re not sure about the details of a transaction on your account it may be that you don’t recognise the date, amount or company name. Please contact us with your account details, the date of the payment and the name that appears on your statement and we’ll do our best to help.

    Helpful hints:

    • Have you checked with all account holders?
    • Have you made a similar payment to a company with a different name which hasn’t shown on your account?
    • Have you used another company to make a purchase? For example Amazon, eBay, PayPal?
    • Have you searched online for the company name?

    If the payment you don’t recognise is to a hotel or car-hire company that you have used, this may be a payment known as a ‘final audit’. See: I have been charged extra by a hotel, cruise ship or car-hire company. What can I do?

    • Confirmation that your card was in your possession at all times
    • If there was any error at point of sale which resulted in you having to enter your PIN twice.

    I have received something different to what I ordered. What can I do?

    If what you received differs from what your invoice states we may be able to raise a claim in an attempt to retrieve your money back from the company.

    Once we receive the documentation, we will be happy to review this for you. We recommend that you only send in photocopies of receipts and invoices.

    If you believe the goods are fake or counterfeit, please see: I ordered genuine goods and have received counterfeit goods or a letter from Customs and Excise. What can I do?

    I have received faulty or damaged goods. What can I do?

    I ordered genuine goods and have received counterfeit goods or a letter from Customs and Excise

    If your goods have been seized at Customs and you have received a letter confirming this, we can use this letter as supporting documentation to assist in a claim to obtain a refund for the items you purchased.

    If you received goods that you believe are fake, we can help you to claim the money back if we have evidence of this.

    Some brands provide online assistance to confirm goods are counterfeit. For example, Ugg allow you to check if the company you purchased from is genuine. We can use this as supporting evidence to assist in securing your refund.

    We will require a few things from you to enable us to review your dispute:

    1. A full written summary of your dispute including confirmation of how you have attempted to resolve with the company and details of any response given. 
    2. A confirmation or invoice of what was ordered 
    3. Proof of what was received (including confirmation from ‘an expert in the field’ or customs that the item was fake) 
    4. The date you received the goods or customs and excise letter.

    Once we receive the documentation, we will be happy to review this for you. We recommend that you only send in photocopies of receipts and invoices.

    You may be able to claim under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

    A refund is not showing on my statement. What can I do?

    If the company tells you they will refund you, we must wait 15 days to see if that refund does show on your account. If it hasn’t been 15 days yet, we recommend that you discuss your concerns with the company.

    We recommend that you try to resolve these issues with the company in question first; they may already be aware of the problem and be happy to resolve the issue for you.

    If you don’t receive a refund after 30 days from the date on your refund voucher, we will require a few things from you to enable us to review your dispute:

    1. A full written summary of your dispute including confirmation of how you have attempted to resolve with the company and details of any response given. 
    2. A copy of the refund voucher showing at least the last 4 digits of the card refunded, the date of the refund and the amount of the refund. If you do not have a refund voucher, we suggest you raise your concern with the company.

    Once we receive the documentation, we will be happy to assist. We recommend that you only send in photocopies of receipts and invoices.

    I ordered samples/free trials from a company and now I have incurred extra costs, what can I do?

    You may have been asked to enter personal details for postage and packaging of sample products or trial terms. At the time you may not have realised that the company was asking for permission to take further payments from your account through their terms and conditions.

    We may be able to help you if you have cancelled with the company before they have taken a payment or if you wish to stop future payments from being made to the company, or if you haven’t received goods that were paid for.

    I have been charged a fee to search for a loan. What can I do?

    Sometimes when you’re seeking a loan online, you may be charged an administration or broker fee. These are charged by the company for searching for a loan on your behalf.

    If you have not searched for a loan, or you have contacted the company and they do not hold any of your details, we may be able to raise a claim.

    See also: I don’t recognise a payment on my account. What should I do?

    If you have searched for a loan, we suggest that you speak directly with the company you used. Broker’s terms and conditions often advise that if they are unable to find a loan, your details may be passed on to other companies to perform a similar service.

    I have been charged extra by a hotel, cruise ship or car-hire company. What can I do?

    If the company has not made you aware of why they have taken a further payment, we will review the details of your dispute to see if we can assist you in securing a refund. We need to try to contact the company first to see if they are able to provide you with a reason for the extra payment. The company may be able to provide a valid reason or may provide you with a refund themselves. If the company is not willing to assist, we may be able to help.

    You may be able to claim under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

    Credit Cards (Visa)

    To raise a claim where you haven’t been informed of a payment being taken from your account, we will need you to get in contact with us. It will also help your case if you are able to tell us how you have tried to resolve the dispute with the company as this may assist in the claim.

    Credit Cards (Mastercard, Amex)

    We will require a few things from you to enable us to investigate:

    • A full written summary of your dispute including confirmation of how you have attempted to resolve with the company and details of any response given

    Claims under Section 75 of The Consumer Credit Act 1974

    Section 75 of The Consumer credit Act 1974 gives credit card customers legal rights if they’ve paid for goods or services using their credit card. It applies when the total price of the goods or services is between £100 and £30,000 and all or part of the purchase price was made using a credit card.

    If you’ve bought something using your credit card, the credit card issuer and the merchant may be equally liable for compensating you if things go wrong. For example if there's a breach of contract or misrepresentation by the merchant against you, you may be able to successfully claim a refund through us.

    We will need to show that the company has not complied with their legal obligations or has misled you. For all cases we will need the following documentation:

    • A full covering letter detailing the exact nature of your claim and what you have done so far to resolve it directly with the company.
    • A copy of your invoice, contract and terms and conditions – if available
    • A copy of all additional payments made to the company that are not on your credit card.

    Depending on the scenario of your claim we may also need any other supporting evidence which is related to the case. For example, evidence that the company is no longer trading, copies of warranties, photographic evidence etc

    We recommend that you only send in photocopies of receipts and invoices.
