Friday, Sept. 12, there was a run on gas. People were frantically running for gas at the pumps before the prices went up drastically from the hurricane.
I went to the Bp oil gas station on the corner of medlock bridge and abbotts bridge in duluth ga. I put my credit card in at the pump and it did not go thru.
I went into the store and asked why the pump did not accept my credit card. The man said it was because i have to pre - pay. I charged 20.00 and went back to the pump. No gas came out! I went back to the store and the person said that there is no gas.
I kindly asked for a refund and the man said not to worry, it will not post, since i did not get gas.By then there were 4 other people, (some getting rather irrate, demanding their money back). The service person kept on saying that it will not post. This episode happened around 8:30 P.M. Friday evening.
When i got home, i notified my credit card co. The card co said this was fraudulant, and to call back monday to see if indeed the charge posted. I called monday, and the charge did post. I called the BP and talked to someone there. They made it sound like i can get my credit if i come to the station. I told them that i was on my way. When i got there, the lady employee said that the only one that could issue a credit was the manager, and that he is gone at a meeting and will return tomorrow.
I went back the following day. (today - tuesday) and they refused to issue me a credit. The man said to wait until i get a physical statement showing the posting did go thru. I told him that it already posted with my credit card company, and that i would appreciate it if they even give me gas or something for the amount of money that i had put on my card. He said he could not do that. So, it looks like i got ripped off. I know that there were many, many people that evening when i was in the store that were ripped off as well. This is not a way to do business. It is taking advantage of the consumers in dire need of gas!!!
I hope you can help get this dispute rectified. My credit card company said that despite the fact that i have the receipt, i really don't have the actual proof that i did not receive gas. There was NO gas to be had at that station and people were putting charges on their credit cards left and right! This is fraudulant work!
