WLY* Complete Save have been taking money fraudulently from my credit card for the last 5 months, totalling £75. I do a small amount of online shopping usually with the same four companies, but at no time have I requested to join the Complete Save savings plan. I have only just discovered this fraud, in part because I had a replacement credit card about a month ago and no longer have online access to previous statements, but also because the amount of £15 per month is a small enough amount not to raise alarm bells! I have now contacted my bank and had further payments stopped, but as a pensioner on a very low income I am furious that this amount of money has been stollen from my account. Somehow this company has got hold of my details, but I can confirm that I have never completed an application form to join this savings plan or received any emails or other documents from this company. I want my money refunded and this company investigated. Ray Lewis

Hello Mary

My reference is [protected]. I have spoken with Martin of Complete Save regarding this, but he has only refunded £45, therefore Complete Save still owe me £30. It was quite clear during our conversation that £15 had been taken from June to October amounting to £75.
Please now confirm that you will be refunding the £30 of my money that you still have.
Ray

Hi I have to they have just taken two lots of £15 out of my account. I do online shopping but have never heard of I really want my money back. I am under 18 tried calling my bank but they were ‘extremely busy’. I am also from the UK and don’t know how much more money they’ve taken from me.

Same story here - I am in discussions with my bank but to date 11 payments have been stolen from my account - my bank must have rattled your cage though because only today I received the one and ONLY email from you. I cannot believe you have been getting away with this for so many years. How do you sleep at night?

I have no words about how I feel now that I realised I've been paying this completely fraud since November! I already requested in you website and also in your "customer service" email to stop the charges and to REMOVE COMPLETELY ALL MY DETAILS FROM YOUR RECORDS OR YOUR DATABASE FOR GOOD

I hope somebody in that email contacts me for the refund of the amount of £150, otherwise I'll take legal actions, this is insane.

I can confirm that I've never given my details to this company or agree to any email from them, not even received an email with a form to sign or anything to become part of such a FRAUD.

It's fair to also write now that @CompleteSaveUK customer service is the most efficient and affective ones I've ever experienced.

Last week, after I let them know about how disappointed I was wrote here my complaint they have already transferred every single one of the charges, £150 in total.

If you haven't signed for this service just let them know, they're great!

Thank you for turning the bad experience into a good experience of how some people work very efficiently.

Natalia

Same happened to me - luckily I caught it quite early on and they had only taken £30 from my account, however as a 16 year old girl with only a small income from a Saturday job, the loss is quite significant. I can also say that I have never signed up to Complete Savings so it is rather worrying how they are able to get hold of account details so easily and commit fraud.

Oh, so when i booked a train ticket, a link said i could get money off my next tickt so i added my name, email address whatever, but it never said they would be taking £15 from me every month! I remember the link was confusing at the time and i never saw anywhere i could actually apply for money off my next train ticket so i backed out of it. I found emails from them in my junk folder.

Look further up in the comments to see an email address for Mary at Complete Savings.. I emailed her and she replied really quickly explaining what happened and promising to refund my money taken. She was really nice and helpful. Good luck. P.s. I notice the same link come up after buying tickets on See Tickets website too... anything that offers you money after you've just purchased something just seems to be dodgy.

I complained about a 15 pound withdrawal that we didn't authorise and was very pleasantly surprised when they gave me back 60 pounds (for 3 added withdrawals I hadn't noticed). They did it very quickly without fuss or bother and promised it wouldn't happen again. So, I'm extremely impressed.

My details were taken through the trainline app after requesting £30 cash back on my next journey. It was not clear that i was signing up for a monthly subscription the first I knew about your company was when I saw it on my bank statement.

To whom it may concern,

I am having money taken out of my account every month to the amount of 15 pounds and I never remember signing up to give away free money to anyone. This is outrageous and a complete scam and I want my money refunded immediately as I am a student and taking money out of my account without notifying me at all is a criminal offence. I am also a law student and have links with solicitors so I will urge you to refund my money now or I will sue you. Give me a number on which I can call and do this with top priority. This has been happening since last september which i find disgusting and I couldnt for the life of me figure out who was taking this money until I investigated this further and came across this.

I've just emailed their complaints department as follows, after noticing £15 being charged fraudulently to my credit card each month.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please refund all money charged to my credit card immediately. I did not knowingly sign up to this service, as I'm sure you are very well aware of. If all money charged to my credit card is not refunded immediately I will start legal proceedings.

Please treat this as a matter of urgency as I am currently paying interest on money that has been effectively stolen from my credit card.

06 Aug 18 I have just checked my online account and noticed £15 deducted by WLY COMPLETE. I, like many, never signed up for this but having phoned them it appears I was automatically enrolled when buying a train ticket on TrainLine.com. The operator was very efficient and stopped my account immediately. I will put the loss of the £15 down to experience. Just be warned. You do not need to fill out a dedicated sign up form for this. It can be, as with me, a hidden product that may be hidden in the small print with an exclusion tick box. Look closely!

Hi there
For some inexplicable reason, I had noticed, but not really looked into why I was paying £15 a month to you. I have checked my bank statements and I have been paying this since November 2015 (total so far £510!) I checked back on my email and have found an email dated 9th October 2015, welcoming me as a member ([protected]) and mentioning PapaJohns. I guess they must have mentioned something about you to me when I visited them. I must have agreed something, but I have never used your service. Could you please advise me what I have to do to: a. Stop this payment going out, and b. Please refund me my money. I realise I must have agreed, but never for one minute realised that this money would come out of my account month, after month.
Thanks
