Warning: Payless Food & Wine


A Thomas

Recommended Posts

Warning: Payless Food & Wine 24 Lordship lane are duplicating Credit/ Debit card transactions ie you pay for your goods twice but the transaction comes up as two different payments on bank statements, they refuse to give back the money stating that your bank should cover your losses , even when you provide evidence

like bank statements and debit card transaction numbers stamped and dated from the bank! do not use your

cards in this shop! They have be reported to Action Fraud... be warned!

Partly because you would hear more about it. Shop has been there forever. This forum has been going 7 years


I've used it without problems


Not saying ms Thomas ( sorry ) hasn't been a victim but there is a slightly ott tone to the posts which suggests there may be more to the story

London Underground did this to me last year, think this happens sometimes.


No recompense or way of complaining - so I gave up.

You could send a Letter Before Action with copies of the relevant evidence, and tell them that you will take action for recovery in the county court if they do not refund you. Post here a scan or photograph of your bank statement (with any private information redacted) showing the duplicate transactions, if you want our opinion of that as evidence, or to persuade doubters.

Are you sure this is an ongoing issue and not just a one off connection problem? Often if the point of sale device is having issues connecting through to the other end the machine will try again and again until it does - sometimes resulting in two payments (or more) going through.

Do you recall any issues with the machine when you paid? did you accidentally take the card out mid process and quickly put it in again? did the shop assistant mention any problems? did you enter your pin more than once?

Of course it will go through as two separate transactions as its simply not possible for two identical payments (with the same authorisation code) to be produced.


I think it unfair, unless it's a proven continuing and known problem, to target this establishment advising people not to use cards as their chosen method of payment.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
