Last night I checked my bank account online, £105.00 is the balance. Fine, I'll do an online shop at asda to arrive tomorrow.
Total shopping comes to £80.76.

Shopping does not arrive today and when I call to enquire why, I am told that there were insufficent funds in my account.

I then check online balance,£24.24 suggesting that between last night and now £80.76 has been debited.
Phoned bank to make enquiries and indeed Asda have taken the amount and bank gave me the authorisation number.I ask if it is possible that it is a pending payment, bank says no, as it has come off the balance then the payment has went through.

Phone Asda back, not helpful in the slightest, They say that they have not recieved the money, I tell them I have an authorisation code from my bank and an available balance which says otherwise.They say they will look into it and call me back at midday tomorrow.

So I now have only £24,Very little food, live in the back of beyond so no shops, will have to take two buses to a tesco tomorrow to see how far my £24 will stretch for baby food, milk and wipes.

Where is my money if it's not in my bank and Asda say they don't have it????

What I'd like to know is how AsdaServiceTeam mysteriously found the number since 8:57 this morning, when they didn't seem to know it???

Deary me, a retrain of the PR team probably in order too.

caramelwaffle · 13/07/2010 11:38

Pssssst Andy. This way.

(whispers)

Perhaps a personal phone call to Mrs pissedrightoff would be a Very Good Idea at this point.

As you were.

gingernutlover · 13/07/2010 11:39

yeah thanks alcrowley I did try - it didnt seem to work very well for some reason.

Dropdeadfred · 13/07/2010 11:40

I would rather pay £19 more for Ocado suff though than have Tesco

Comewhinewithme · 13/07/2010 11:40

If you by have heard nothing by 1pm PRO I think Mner's should think about posting this link and a warning to every forum they can think of to warn others.

SagacityNell · 13/07/2010 11:42

CWWM - Tis me that just added u and retweeted

Disenchanted3 · 13/07/2010 11:43

Wow, can't believe this is still going on!

Comewhinewithme · 13/07/2010 11:43

Sag -I just followed back .

gingernutlover · 13/07/2010 11:43

fine if you have a spare £19 every week I guess dropdeadfred, unfortunatly most of us don't

i switched to tesco this week for the sake of £7 (it will pay for dd's school sweatshirt, needs must)

AsdaServiceTeam · 13/07/2010 11:43

As confirmed by ComeWhineWithMe we're currently looking into the full details of this. Once we've been able to conclude we'll be straight in touch.

pastapestofor6 · 13/07/2010 11:50

Watching with interest, lets hope they get a good kick up the arse and you get your shopping OP.
Unfortunately they treat many customers in the same way. It's time the consumers stood up to these large supermarkets after all it's us that put them where they are.

Fontella · 13/07/2010 11:51

Looking into it!?!?

She's been waiting for three days.

What is there to 'conclude'?

She's ordered her shopping, the money has gone from her account, she's got no shopping.

It ain't rocket science!

jpg · 13/07/2010 11:53

Wow, what a disaster for Asda - I am surprised that they haven't reacted faster to this

I am another one who won't be bothering with Asda internet shopping, and I was going to finally get my arse into gear and do it! Their loss, glad it's not mine

Good luck Pissedrightoff, hope it's sorted today

Wordsonascreen · 13/07/2010 11:53

Possibly asdaserviceteam is a robot.

pissedrightoff · 13/07/2010 11:54

Good lord, I just noticed the post from them asking for the order number on here, exactly how many people called their head office yeaterday with the EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT THEY COULDNT FIND THIS INFO THEMSELVES (I was shouting that time)

geordieminx · 13/07/2010 11:54

This is an absolute disgrace.

Can all those who keep suggesting Ocado be aware they dont deliver north of the border

WingsTHEangel · 13/07/2010 11:54

Once your able to conclude.
Translated as once we can wriggle out of this.

Comewhinewithme · 13/07/2010 11:54

Are you of her going to reimburse the cost of her having to use the corner shop to buy food for her baby after you withheld food and money from her?

Wordsonascreen · 13/07/2010 11:55

They're working on a robot hand to pick up a freaking phone and installing a voice chip.

MisSalLaneous · 13/07/2010 11:55

Yes, whilst you're seeing this, Asda PR / Management - please remember that this seems to be an all-too-common problem with your ordering. So, whilst the first action is to sort out OP, PLEASE take into account that other people could be equally affected if this type of thing continues. Without a kind corner shop owner giving them food on credit - would you ever want your children to go to bed hungry, begging for some food? These parents wouldn't either.

clayre · 13/07/2010 11:57

Jeez cant believe this is still going on, shocking service from Asda, hope it gets all sorted for the OP, i'll be watching this thread ot see how Asda wriggle out of this mess!!

Comewhinewithme · 13/07/2010 11:58

I was just thinking that Sal - I bet they would be up in arms if their children faced going hungry.

Honestly ASDA it's like shoplifting in reverse, Sort it out.
