Warning: Payless Food & Wine

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.

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff

    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
