parabola Posted November 27, 2009 Share I entered the Argus Cycle Tour in September, paid using my cheque card as I do not have a credit card. Today I check my current account balance and they have charged me again for R650 on the 27th of this month. I called the cycle tour office, and they told me it is a problem with Nedbank. I have phoned Nedbank and they assure me that it will be sorted out. I just wanted to tell everyone so that they are aware of this problem. EDIT : banks sorted me out within a few days. parabola2009-12-02 07:43:01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Posted November 27, 2009 Share The same happened to me. I also phoned and email the office. They said they will reverse the one transaction but nothing happened so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knersis Posted November 27, 2009 Share Just imagine the intererest on +- 30 000 x R300 = R9 000 000 per day. Sounds like the Michael Jackson concert years ago, where everybody paid and they refunded the money 3 months later. Sound fishy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDEE Posted November 27, 2009 Share Go into your branch and manually reverse the amount... Its not rocket science.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted November 27, 2009 Share Happened to me a few years ago - They use VCS as their service provider for card transactions and their servers seems to fall over under load. I did fight to get a refund - check your email confrimation for details (ref number) and take it up with them as well, since they are ones who will have to reverse the duplicate. Their email is support@vcs.co.za Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbeaorca Posted November 27, 2009 Share My wife is at standard bank and her credit card also got rebilled for a purchase from Diesel made two months ago. So it is not just the Argus but Nedbank indeedorbeaorca2009-11-27 08:02:50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted November 27, 2009 Share It happens quite often on credit card purchases. It normally gets reversed before you even know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parabola Posted November 27, 2009 Share It happens quite often on credit card purchases. It normally gets reversed before you even know. Thats the problem. I paid using a cheque card, so this is cash directly out of my current account. Basically they stole the money from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a nice and fast race next year your next entry will be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
