Asda just rang

Far too many people just saying to "pay it" , don't pay it, take the other advice and do some investigation work. Can never be too careful really, make sure the bank are aware also.
You don't want to be making the topic "got scammed" in the next couple of weeks...
 
Ignore their request for payment, be taken to court and have to not only pay for your shopping but stump up extra to pay the court fee's.
 
Is the 'Please check your change before leaving, as mistakes cannot be rectified later' thing that most small shops have by their tills a legal thing, or just a sign/notice they all seem to have? ASDA may even have one of those notices somewhere too, if so use it against them :)

I would not pay up on their mistake, consider it as a service to them so they can ensure they don't let it happen again! £76 well spent for ASDA! Could save them £MILLIONS over the years :cool:
 
this has happened to me before, with Asda, also with Council Tax.

I paid

the bank girl told me, after you've authorised the payment, its taken from your account straight away - then the person payment is for has to "claim" it, if they don't its returned to your account.
 
I want a £5 coin.

And what does
In England and Wales the £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes are legal tender for payment of any amount. However, they are not legal tender in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Not positive. But I work for an "e retailer" and I've had dealings with taking card payments. I'm pretty sure we'd have serious problems trying to force out customers to re-authorise a payment. I mean how do you prove what you're paying for, they could just make anything up? The whole thing is a bit of a mine field, and I'd be very interested to know who they've got themselves into a pickle like this.

The long and the short of it is if you’re a serious business, you don’t make mistakes collecting the cash.

EDIT: I could speak to the guy who wrote out charging system and find out for sure if you like?

Thanks mate that would be great if you could get me some more info.
 
Ok I have decided to ignore all further phone calls and wait for some official letter to come through my door, only then will I consider coughing up. 76 quid to them is nothing and it is quite a lot ofmoney for me so stuff em :) I will update this thread when if I hear any more about it.
 
1) Asda have a policy in store that if its priced up wrong and you pay more / less than the advertised shelf price you get the items and a refund.

2) Thus since it was obviously priced up wrong and you paid nothing you should not only get to keep the items but have a full refund.

Ok so the top bit is their policy, the second part may be pushing it.
 
i don't know if it's been mentioned but surely the easiest thing to do to confirm it is ASDA is to phone their head office using the phone number on that ASDA website (or am i just being far to clever :o) :rolleyes:
