Be wary of Paddock Motors!
Damonski:
That sounds a strange system, why take a 10 payment only to refund it later on ?
Never used them so cant really comment, but that system sounds bonkers
EvilEd:
I have had this before with various companies... usually when the transaction fails... It caused me no end of problems as we were talking about £3k at the time, failed first time and was rejected the second time with insufficient funds :shock: They phoned their merchant and they were less than helpful, fortunately the bank was more helpful and put a temporary overdraft facility in to cover the extra and waived the interest.
It's the merchants that do this.... not the company themselves and the company have no control over it.
If it goes on more than the 10 days, ask your card provider for proof that you spent the money or return it to your account. Unfortunately that can take time :(
[Edit]
Oh, forgot to mention... the money was still in my account, but it was "Unavailable" or "In Process" and as such, the bank locks that cash away to cover the request. This happens with all thransactions, when you hand the card over, the money is only reserved in your account, it's usually overnight or more before the money actually goes.

Paddocks have said that it happens with every transaction and they are aware that it does happen, yet they wont put a warning or a note on their website, and the problem is they payment was declined cos the £10 was taken first, if the £10 hadnt been taken first the normal payment would have come out with no problems.
All it means now is Paddocks wont be getting me business anymore, and i shall go to Craddocks instead.

I ordered £250 worth of goods online, ( last week) I asked for them tobe delivered a specific day, the goods arrived less £22.00 worth of bits of which they had refunded from the on-line transaction, I think you may have been unfortunate ,..everybody makes mistakes.........I think they are very good maybe you should give them another chance.......
old joe:
