Don't use The English Grocer

I put in a charge back on my credit card. Got the money back that way. The guy lost his sh*t when he realised - suddenly he was able to reply to emails.

So how come it worked after all?

Still, good on you.

Yup. I think people should issue chargebacks more often and more quickly when dealing with bad vendors. As you say, suddenly, they are able to communicate again.

Note only do they get a charged by the credit card company for the charge back (on top of the money they refund you) - if it happens a lot, they end up getting fines from the credit card companies too.

I was just within the time limit. UBS only give you 1 month after the invoice. So if the payment was towards the end of the billing period, you donā€™t have a lot of time to figure out something is wrong and go through the process of trying to sort it out.

And, yes, the vendor got charged for the chargeback on top of returning my money.

Iā€™ve tried thatā€¦ the account wonā€™t let you alter or delete the ā€˜originalā€™ email address used, only add others. Fuming!
