There is no "win", you took goods from them without paying. The fact you took so long to do it speaks volumes about your moral and/or ethical viewpoints.

Wrong. Asda delivered goods and failed to take payment. :eek:

It just makes me angry everytime I go to the supermarket and I feel as though i've been raped at the checkout

Supermarkets are hardly expensive, I mean £2 for a chicken? I don't see how they could be much cheaper really, they already screw every single last penny out of their suppliers so you as the consumer are not the one being raped.

£2 for a chicken? where is that at? every place i go now, adsa/morrisons etc ite more like £4 for a single whole chicken.

surely you could say there was a problem that day so i paid cash (if you did spend 76 quid that day that didnt get taken from your account). can they prove you didnt pay cash? i doubt it.

It isnt a scam but when my wife asked them what the original problem was the lady on the other end of the phone said " this wasnt our fault, it was the banks who refused authorisation of the payment" now this got me thinking. I wasnt anywhere near overdrawn at the time and I also have a £500 overdraft so there is no way I didnt have the funds to pay! and if it was refused then why would they send me the shopping? surely if my card payment was refused then any sensible retailer would not hand over the goods

Well if they are anything like us (Tesco) the shopping should not have been delivered. Once the shopping is picked its sent to be checked out which is when payment is taken, paperwork gets printed and if for whatever reason the customers card is rejected there reciept comes down as "Alternative Tender" and the shopping doesnt get delievered until we get some form of payment. Usually means getting in contact with the customer to check card details are correct.

Not always.

Not an Asda story but I shafted "The Man" once.

"The Man" doesn't always win but just like a casino or bookies, they win plenty enough.

There are a number of legal requirements for a loan to be valid. One of them is the creditor has to have a completed (to the legal standards) copy of the credit agreement (and they have to be able to produce it upon request IIRC). If they do not have this document filled out correctly the debt is null and void.

So good for you for standing your ground.

go on a murderous rampage in ASDA screaming Tesco is better, then shoot yourself in the face next to the veg isle.

bushmins · 23 Feb 2009 at 17:33

I would have strung it out a bit asking for proof that you were there and a copy of the recept. When they then provide a copy of the recept id go balistic and say why the heck couldnt they have done that when i wanted to get a refund for a bottle brush when i couldnt find the recept.

Or make it ironic by ending the spree in line at the customer service desk

First thoughts that it was a scam.

Go in store, never give out your card details on the phone.

Artest · 23 Feb 2009 at 21:17

OMG there're supermarkets everywhere, we should steal from them.

JBuk · 23 Feb 2009 at 21:22

Tell them you paid it instore last week and have no idea why it doesn't show on their records or where your reciept has dissapeared to

As others have said, this is stealing. Someone will have to pay for it; and it won't necessarily be a fat-cat.

Other than the the OP stated that he bought the shopping online LOL. How could he pay cash?

Unless he sent the cash via "Wonkavision", through the slot on the side of the router............

It dosent show up on my statement so I do owe them it but I was just wondering if I ignored them would they chase me for it?

or where theyd got your number from....?

sounds like a scam, depends do you have a receipt / proof you went in there at the time?

Johnnytoxic · 3 Mar 2009 at 12:59

Say you will pay them no problem. Ask them to come round your house to pick up the cash in person in an Asda van. I bet they won't bother doing this

See how much they want their £76.
