Hotels.com
Unauthorized transaction

In March I contacted Hotels.com to make a reservation for a spring break trip for my kids & youth pastors from our church. At the beginning of the conversation they had three rooms available, I gave my information, I was put on an extended hold only to have a rep inform me when she returned that only 1 room was available.in the course of a conversation that lasted approximately 30 minutes I ended up telling the Hotels.com rep to cancel the entire transaction as they did not have sufficient rooms to accommodate the three families traveling together as their website indicated.
Hotels.com forwarded the transaction to the hotel anyway and I was charged for a no show for one room. There is no confirmation on my part that this "reservation" was ever 100% authorized. This is fraud. Out of my realm that Hotels.com could still forward my information as a legitimate transaction to the hotel without my knowledge or consent.
My bank, Wells Fargo, is just as guilty in this scam as they are stating to me that since my debit card number was given to Hotels.com that is considered an authorized transaction, regardless of whether or not product/service was received. They have denied my claim and have paid the transaction out of my bank account. This is theft. I hope that I see a class action lawsuit against both parties in this stupid scam of business practice.
