A merchant errornously processed a transaction againset my account 3 times. Upon notifying the bank (who did nothing) and the merchant who took it upon themselves to create a 3-way call between the bank, myself and the merchants customer service person, we resolved the issue up to the point of reversing 2 of the charges. However the triple transaction caused an overdraft which the bank claimed was not their problem but would be kind enough to credit back 25% of the charge.
Now any bank who has such a weak computer system that cannot spot a potential problem transaction should be sold to someone who can. When the same transaction comes through 3 times from the same merchant number on the same date for the same amount certainly lends itself to fraud and based on the intellagance of the people I spoke to in Customer Service they would never figure it out.
