there needs to be some legislation put into place that legally places them responsible to rpelace the missing funds in 24 hours or the amount they must return to the account grows by like 50% / day. It would not be acceptable for you to goto the register of a store and take out 97.00 for a few days or even 1 day.

All i want is my money back... 24 hours would be good, but i never seen that happen always like three days.
 
DONT USE A DEBIT CARD FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT THE ATM

When it's the CC company's money on the line, sh!t happens a lot faster.... when its your money on the line.... who cares?

use a CC from now on. Problem Solved.

CC credit backs are basically the same. Say you buy something and then return it to the store, it'll still take a couple days (for me at least).

Now, doing a chargeback is a different story.

That's how they make money. 2-3 days of interest on every transaction adds up to quite a bit.

If you buy something and return it, yeah i see why it could take a few days, but when its their mistake, the money should come back right away....

I agree, they should be equally responsible for putting it in as they are for pulling it out.

heh, that sounded kinda dirty.

 
I still have not got my money back. In fact, the gym NYSC billing is still looking into the issue, because their computers don't show the charge and they are waiting on a "server" to come back up...

I got the person helping me name and extension... no way they going to rob me of that money... I need it for x-mas shopping.

There is plenty of legislation for credit card users. One more reason debit cards are for suckers.

 
man, they can do it instantly, they dont want to. There is a refund button on the machine they use to swipe your card. All they have to do is hit refund-enter your card number-enter exp. date-enter amount=bam you have your money back. Used to do this at my work when i gave refunds. you are dealing with n00bs
 
Sometimes it depends on how their merchant services is set up. Best Buy has returned money to my account the next day, but Target took 3 business days that extended over 6 days due to a holiday and weekend.
