Cost of living: London woman baffled after buying £20 worth of petrol at Tesco only to realise ‘she had been charged £120′
A woman has been left ‘totally confused’ after buying £20 worth of petrol at Tesco only to believe she had been ‘charged’ £120. After paying for her fuel at the pump of a petrol station in East London, the woman was left ‘scratching her head’ after seeing a notification from her bank that a £120 Tesco fuel payment had been ‘taken’ from her account.Taking to an online forum to share her experience, the woman recounted how she had had gone to pay for her petrol at the station in Barkingside after putting in £20 worth of premium unleaded fuel. When she checked her phone later on, she was ‘shocked’ to find a notification that said £120 had been ‘taken’ from her account.
However, the transaction wasn’t a mistake, and Tesco – like many other retailers – now have similar ‘pay at pump’ holding schemes when customers pay for their petrol at the pump. The idea is that whatever amount you spend on fuel is taken as payment, and the rest is refunded within the hour
After the woman had realised this, she went on to explain she had seen that the transaction of £120 had been pending and had never actually left her account. She was charged for the fuel she had purchased and the rest had been placed back into her account. “What a liberty”, she wrote.
Commenters to her post then fumed on her behalf, with some saying it was ‘completely unnecessary’, while others questioned the legality of the pump payments. “How is this even legal?”, one commenter questioned, while another wrote: “100 per cent won’t be doing that any more.”Others advised her to “never use pay at pump and always go into the shop” to avoid the £120 transaction, while another admitted they were also caught out by the payment as well
We are lucky that this doesn’t affect us too much but someone on a tight budget might be. Could mean that they go overdrawn and face bank charges as a result”, the commenter posted.
According to Tesco, the amount should bounce back into their accounts as soon as they have left the petrol station.
