Hi, im new here and this is my first post.

 

I was hopeing someone can help and provide some adivce on the below.

 

I made my first order on LXdirect 15/04/06 which was for a Ornamental plate.

 

The order is as follows which was received by email as confirmation.

Qty Item Expected Delivery Price Discount DiscountCode 1

with love set MF370A5 Estimated delivery by Tue 2nd May £ 18.99 £ -1.90 XX172

 

Order Discount ZG562 £ -15.00

Sub Total

£ 18.99

Total Discount

£ -16.90

Delivery

£ 3.50

Total Including Delivery

£ 5.59

 

There it clearly states that the total is £5.59 after discount. They took a total of £20.59 from my bank account making me £6.29 overdrawn which meant I had a £25.00 bank charge thanks to them. I emailed them 18/04/2006 stating that they have overcharged me and have now made me overdrawn and that i require a refund.

 

27/04/2006 I emailed them again asking them to cancel my order and to give me a total refund as I still had not received any refund and the delivery date given is too long (18 days after order placed which website showed stock). I did receive a refund on this day after my email for £15.00 which was for what they overcharged me. I was now left with an outstanding refund of £5.59 plus £25 bank charges.

 

I got this reply 27/04/2006

 

Dear Mr *********,

 

Thank you for your e-mail requesting the cancellation of your order.

 

Unfortunately on this occasion we have been unable to stop your order in

time to prevent it from being despatched.

When the order is delivered to you please either refuse delivery or

contact a member of our Online Care Team 08705 896611 to arrange a

convenient date for collection.

Please remember that all unwanted goods must be returned to us within 14

days of receipt.

 

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that may be caused.

 

Kind regards,

 

LXdirect Customer Care.

 

I waited until it wass delivered to refuse delivery but the 02/05/06 came and nothing was delivered. I emailed them again stating that I would refuse delivery if there was something to refuse and got this reply on 11/05/06.

 

Dear Mr ***********.

 

Thank you for your e-mail regarding delivery.

 

On checking MF370 is due for delivery today.

 

We look forward to seeing you on line soon!

 

Kind regards,

LXdirect Customer Care.

 

I emailed them again on 19/04/2006 stating that they have not refunded me and to tell them to stop telling me its out for delivery as its now 24 days since i ordered it and is way passed the specified delivery date.

 

On this same day they slipped up and refunded me the sub of £17.09 followed by the sum of £3.50 and again with the sum of £17.09 totalling £37.68. Taking my £5.59 off this meant that they refunded me £32.09 too much not taking account the £25 bank charges they owe me.

 

So as it stands I now owe them £32.09 and they owe me £25.00.

 

I received an invoice from them on 15/07/2006 a invoice demanding £32.80 which includes 71p interest by 07/08/2006. I decided to pay it get it over with and then try and get my bank charges back after. So I paid the balance I owe them plus their interest on 04/08/2006.

 

I got this confirmation email back on 04/08/2006

 

Dear MR *********,

I was shocked when I received another invoice on 12/08/2006 demanding the original £32.09 plus 71p interest which now includes a £10 admin charge and another 72p interest totalling £43.52.

 

So for some reason they have had problems with their billing software again as they didn’t actually take my money. So now they want me to pay more interest on the money they gave me in error plus a £10 admin fee for their error. Yet there is still no mention of repaying my bank charges or paying any interest on that either.

 

I am outraged and here to ask advice on what to do as this is clearly wrong. I have tried to order an item which they overcharged me, didn’t deliver and refund me too much and demanding more money when I tried to give them it back and screw me over with bank charges and their admin charge plus interest.

 

I have emailed them requesting the address as to where to write a complaint as they won’t the £43.52 by 02/09/2006. I have emailed them twice and not received a reply. Has anyone got any details as where im to write to and as to what I should put in my letter.

 

Our Customer Charter is our pledge to you the customer. It contains our promise for safe and honest shopping.

 

That is not that case since i have lost out on £37+ so far for making the mistake of trying your e-shop.

 

Thank you for any help in advanced guys and gals.

 

Regards

 

Mike

Actually write to them on paper, concisely putting everything in chronological order with all monies given and received. Give them 14 days to have the account brought up to date giving an accurate representation of its state and a refund for expenses due to their error or you will proceed with legal action.

Like some many of these cat companies they are a shambles & no one actualy reads your messages. If they do having only 2 brain cells amongst them they try not to deal with your query correctly & just press a coupl of buttons to send you another template letter.

 

Also they are only to quick to default consumers so be careful they don't you

Hi mikeuk2004

 

I too have dispute with Littlewoods.

 

Becuase of my problems with the banks my cheque to pay them was returned and they charged me £15.00. I had a phone call from their financial services and explained that whilst I was changing my bank account they would have to wait a little while but i would pay the balance in full to close the account. This amounted to £65.84. I also asked them to waive the £15 late payment fee, as I was not in control of the time factor. As soon as my parachute account was set up I sent them a cheque for the full amount which was duly paid. They sent me a monthly statement which said I still owed the balance plus two late payment charges plus £5 letter fee. This took my balance to over £100. I had already sent the balance so obviously there was a crossed in the post situation. I am waiting for my next statement which will probable say I owe them for the late payment charges and the administration fee. This they will have to sue me for, as I will refuse to pay. After having explained why their payment had not been made and then in good faith paying off the account they still want to claw another £35 from me. I call that greedy. They won't get it. I shall expect a breakdown of the £15 and what justifies this charge (twice).

 

 

Any thoughts??

I paid the £43 odd pound as im just writting my letter now. I paid it so there are no more charges while i get my complaint in as I dont what them to add this to any debt recover thingys and effect my credit score.

 

Anyway I paid it and I have just looked on my account and it says I owe 35p interest.

 

What for??? there is nothing on the account. How can they now be charging me 35p a month interest on a £0.00 account???

 

What is going on.

Ignoring the spam post above, do as Blacksheep states and write in. They have committed several breaches of the distance selling regs. Do not fall into the trap of keeping their money as payment for your own losses - they are different things (although if a modicum of common sense existed this would be ideal).
