Unauthorised taking of money from a debit card.
|
|
Reserved a B&B in Blackpool via booking.com using a debit card but paid for it with a CC on arrival.
So far so good.
Checked my account to see the damage done and there is a deduction of £25, rang the place up and was told by a very annoyed proprietor that my mate (honest) had pissed the bed and this is the charge for it.
Can they really take the money without asking of at least giving me the chance to ring him and say put it right?
What if they wanted. 2/3/400 or decided that a new mattress etc was in order?
Not quibbling about the money, I think it’s pretty reasonable and I’ll get it back sooner or later. Just questioning the legality of it.

I think when you pay a hotel you're authorising them to charge for things.

OTB.
I understood it that the card reserves the room and I pay for it on arrival (cash the reserved card or in this case a credit card)
In theory the card I used to reserve was just that, the CC was used for payment.

I think car hire companies can from a credit card, but as I understand there is no way they can take money from your debit card without your authorisation. I f you ring your bank they will do a chargeback and then it's up to the hotel to chase the £25

£25 seems a small charge for a pissed up bed

I am angry in sympathy with the B&B owner.

Never use a debit card to pay for anything.
Use your credit card and let the credit card company sort it out plus everything you buy is insured.
Debit card = access to your bank account. Don’t use it.

Branded.
That’s my thought as well, seeing as they want £250 for having a fag out of the window. Originally that’s what crossed my mind, he smokes (vapes) and I don’t.

A few things here:
- Mrs Pickle is having a shower,
- You ought to be paying in cash if you’re “mate” is want to piss the bed and
- Have you perchance gone on holiday by mistake, Joe?

probably find there is some type of 'damages' clause in the booking agreement you made.
We were on a stag in Bournemouth once and stupid me booked the accommodation. I was still getting billed about 6 months later for stuff that my knob-head mates had broken and 'hidden'

Jojo.
Fridays intake was 16ish 1664’s and two bottles of wine.
Sats intake was prob more 1664 but no wine. He collapsed/fainted watching the cockney rejects so we left before the show ended.
No idea if it happened on the Friday or the sat night.
Weird thing is, he never seemed that drunk either night.
