Money Owed

[jamesk0001]

I travelled with a friend to an event. They booked a well known chain for both of us but we paid for our rooms separately on our own cards.

I wasn't happy with my room as it was noisy at night and applied for a refund. The hotel agreed and refunded me £130, but I never got it.

I called them again and they said they have repaid it to the person that booked (my Friend).

This was nearly 8 weeks ago and my friend hasn't mentioned the refund even though we have met up a few times since the refund has been processed.

My friend knows that I complained but I have not mentioned to the friend that I think they have the cash as I was hoping that they would have noticed the £130 refund to their account.

Allowing for credit card statements to arrive etc. I am getting annoyed about this, especially as they know that I have asked for the refund and know that I have had some big emergency bills recently so could do with the cash.

Maybe she just hasnt realised? I think you should talk to her before you get cross about it.

[MrsHass]

Why on earth haven't you said to the friend that the money was refunded onto their card?

[lurkingnotlurking]

I could well not notice too. Tell her

[MrsTerryPratchett]

She probably hasn't realised. Why haven't you spoken to her?

[Wellthatwasembarassing]

Tbh don't think I'd have noticed either. I would definitely ask your friend and also say to the girl chain you payed so it should have gone back on to your card

[Wellthatwasembarassing]

Hotel * not girl chain

[Cheeseontoastie]

You need to mention it.

[HolyShet]

Well, there is that, but tbh the hotel's fucked up and paid money to the wrong person. They still owe you the money. Why should you have to chase her?

i give up. jesus christ

[thecolonelbumminganugget]

You need to tell her, I check my current account a couple of times a week but will only look at my credit card once or twice a month.

[healthyheart]

The hotel owe you. Not worth falling out with your friend over this. The hotel mucked up, their problem to correct.

[WineAndTiramisu]

I certainly wouldn't notice a refund onto my credit card, into my bank account I would, but not CC.

Why not ask her, rather than seething quietly for 8 weeks?

[apacketofcrisps]

Are we missing something here? Why on Gods green earth would you not just bloody ASK HER

[amymel2016]

She may not have noticed? I don't check my bank account that often and wouldn't notice it going in. Ask her.

[steff13]

I guess technically the hotel needs to refund your card and take the money back from your friend's card. But it seems simpler to just as the friend for the money. I can't fathom that you've just waited for 8 weeks to see if your friend notices the credit added to her card balance.

[GreenTulips]

I wouldn't be notice either and rarely look at the CC statement ! Mention it

[araiwa]

After being told they refunded your friend, can you explain why you didnt call her to let her know?

[afrikat]

I hardly ever check my CC statement so wouldn't notice. Just ask her!

[Glumglowworm]

Ffs just ask her like a grown up! You could've avoided months of angst by just actually asking your friend!

[Shoxfordian]

Ask your friend!

[thecatsthecats]

My fiance managed to miss £600 of fraud on his cards as they came off when we were paying all of our mortgage fees, and it was a drop in the ocean.

Just ask her.

[Ellendegeneres]

Yeah you need to drop her a message or call her and say hotel refunded my money to you, can you transfer it over please.

This ones easy

[NerrSnerr]

Why haven’t you asked her?

[StormTreader]

Of course you ask her! She may have thought that the hotel just refunded both rooms and not realised that her refund was actually yours.
