To wonder where the hell is my shopping and/or money?

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????

FOr darling TIS

Mumsnet demogaphics.

And really if you think even being benefits = waster or whatever ATM you are seriously out of touch- I would imagine jobs where people could never experience that are fairly rare atm, sadly. Even though OP is not afaik on benefits anyhow.

Anyway, dinnerr to make: toodle pip!

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 13/07/2010 17:20

FioFio Yup, I was near there. I escaped to the East Midlands to come to University. My family are still around there though.

Reapy · 13/07/2010 17:20

TIS - You're boring me now.

PRO - Here's hoping your shopping comes through soon!

'Netwaork Guy' - um, good enough...

Thanks Belle... I'm not in England though

I'm not convinced that will be enough to dampen the spirit, DJARM - I think PRO could be seriouslypissedrightoff since there wasn't an apology, just a reiteration of 'not our fault' (except for their card processing, or the firm they use for card processing).

Maybe whoever the boss is now needs to be an undercover MD (new series on C4 ?) and see what they are delivering, and whether customers are happy.

Reapy · 13/07/2010 17:22

LMAO @ CWWM! Maybe he IS Dr Who?

Anyone else suspect TellingitStraight is actually from ASDA Customer Services?

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 13/07/2010 17:23

No one here reads the Daily Star! Is that because it's shite?

Just so it is not forgotten

"Psssst. Andy. Over here.

Cc dom_asdapr

A phone call to Mrs pissedrightoff, right now, would not go amiss. It would be A Good Idea.

As your follow up phone call was rubbish I would have done better and saved your bacon not a success, I shall now suggest a goodwill token of TWO years supply of nappies. A bunch of flowers. £300 worth of shopping. Her original order (payment waived).

Plus a £200 donation to pissedrightoff's charity of choice"

Silence is not always a good PR exercise

1: PRO, ignore TIS, they are not worth your time, are clearly bored and have the ability of a gnat to amuse.

2: The problem is straightforward to most people. You entered into an agreement with Asda. You were to pay Asda for some groceries. Asda was to pack up and deliver these groceries to you, or at the very very least make them or close substitutes available in the shop for you. You provided the money to do this. Asda took your money but did not uphold their side of the bargain.

3: Excuses about ringfencing, ghost payments etc are just that - excuses. You gave the correct amount of money to Asda. If Asda expect you to have double the amount at least in your account for 10 days until one payment is refunded then that is a problem with their system.

4: If Asda PR are reading this then I've been growing increasingly annoyed at the quality of your food, the decreasing choice available and the fact that the only thing you seem to be able to boast about is the fact you're cheaper (£1.30 less expensive than your nearest rivals for a basket of shopping costing around £50 according to The Grocer Awards 2010). This thread was the final straw needed to make my decision not to bother with you any more. I would rather pay a little bit more for decent service.

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 13/07/2010 17:25

No Fio, ds is 11.

You are welcome NetworkGuy

TellingItStraight is actually from TosserVille BalloonSlayer

Reapy · 13/07/2010 17:25

Oh, can't he be Dr Who, PRO? I was having fun with that image! LOL

I did have a hearty laught at it!

DeFluffy · 13/07/2010 17:26

whats a 'white ace'??

Reapy · 13/07/2010 17:27

@ DeFluffy: Not sure, could be a brand of cider though, judging by the way they bandied the word about.

Fontella · 13/07/2010 17:28

Has the shopping arrived yet?

caramelwaffle · 13/07/2010 17:28

Ooooo - my strike outs disappeared

weblette · 13/07/2010 17:29

Cashed their giros? Errrr haven't heard that phrase in a long time.

Knowing the sainted Martin in a former life, I'm pretty sure what his reaction to TIS would be
