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

I found that £15 had been taken out of my Amazon Credit card account without my permission by an unknown company called "COMPLETE SAVINGS"... I emailed them about this and accused them of theft.. They have since replied stating that the £15 will be refunded.

Unfortunately when shopping online the Completesave is almost presented as part of your purchase. If you are using Moonpig or Boohoo or other platforms that support these scumbags it can be hard to reach the final page of your purchase without unwittingly clicking 'I agree' on Completesaves scam. It is very cleverly designed to make you think that you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of your purchase, but in fact you are signing up for a rip off that will charge your account 15 per month for nothing. Unless you shop online every day their offers are useless. They should be shut down,and Moonpig and otger sites that host them should be boycotted

I have just noticed £15.00 has been fraudulently taken from my account for the last four months. At no time did I authorise Wly*Complete save to debit my account. How do I get my money refunded it is money I can I’ll afford to pay out. Please can you resolve this on my behalf.

I just noticed the same transaction on my credit card statement.I called my bank. They were really helpful and put me in touch with the fraud department. They told me that they suspect that a transaction I made with Looking4Parking, for airport parking, would have had one of these annoying advertising banners running on the page. In order to get rid of it, you click on the cross at the top. Apparently, this is how this shady organisation gets your details and lo and behold you’ve unknowingly ‘subscribed’ to their services. The bank gave me the telephone number of this dodgy lot and I called and insisted on a refund. They said they would refund my card within 3 to 5 working days. My bank have now blocked any future attempts by this lot to take payments. I shall be contacting this shower of thieves on day six if I haven't received my refund. Good luck

If you've been charged 30.00 in total (MAR & APR) then that tells me that an online payment youvw likely made during the same date in FEB started them as its always the previous month almost to the day that starts off the savings scheme.

£15 was taken from my bank account as well with the complete save reference. I was raging as hadn't subscribed to anything. Phoned them and they confirmed it was authorised after my Moonpig purchase! They agreed to cancel but I demanded my money back, which they agreed to do within 3-5 days. They better hope it is, complete farce way of getting money from people. Please be aware.

My goes back a very long time too, January 2017. I have put in a claim. Got three months back. Put in another claim as suggested by my bank. I have changed cards so I am likely to be in the same position. This has been going on unknowingly since 2017. Did you get a refund?

This company have been taking money from my bank each month for many years. They agreed to pay it back but they are now saying that they can only pay it back to a card I had years ago and my bank no longer recognise as it had been taken over. The company need to reimburse me a further £180 with immediate effect. I am now happy to highlight this company’s unorthodox practices to the financial ombudsman, the national newspapers, my MP and solicitor etc. people need to be made aware of this company.

I have been emailing for weeks now and it still not sorted as excuse after excuse. I will let you know if they reimburse me the remaining £189 owed to me. If there is anyone else who would also like to bring their story to the newspapers etc let me know in response to this message.

I have just discovered that Complete Savings have been taking £ 15 per month out of my account for almost three years, without my permission. They have stolen £600 from me in total. They are no better than pickpockets. I'm fuming. I suggest we combine forces and make them refund us.

Contact their company. Their phone number is often on your statement with the transaction. If its not then a quick Google search will bring up their site. They're pretty good at offering a full refund. Just get in touch with them and they'll help you out.

Kindly refund the £105 you’ve taken from my bank account since November 2021. You can see that I have NOT used your services, nor have I ever sought them out. Please also explain which website I was using at the time when I apparently inadvertently ’signed up’ to WLY.

I have never agreed to have the money taken from my account and as I now have changed to a current account that I cannot have standing orders or direct debits, yet you still have managed to take the money way every month I would like this investigated and refunded immediately

I had never heard of this company until yesterday when I received an email from them. So I went through my bank statements and discovered that they have taken £600 out of my account over the last three years. I have never, ever, given this company permission to take £15 per month and I therefore consider this to be theft.

Much the same as me, it turns out I bought something in Argos Dec 2019 and since then they have taken £15 per month out. Bank alerted me saying it was suspicious. Phoned them up and they say I had agreed to this (never) they are paying back 3 months straight away but have to fill in a claim for to see if i can get the rest.

I’ve never once subscribed to complete savings and it keeps taking £15 out of my account, I cancelled the subscription about 5/6 months ago and now money is being stolen from my account again. I was charged £15 10th June and now I’m being charged £15 today…i at least want £30 refunded….absolutely fuming.

I have just got £15 taken out of my account that I REALLY did not sign up for and ruined a day out with my loved one. Being a young teen and seeing my hard earned money being taken from me has left me upset and anxious about more of this money being taken out of my account. And me also wanting to save up for a car, this doesn’t help at all.
