Resolving Payment Issues and Disputes for Cheese Wedding Cakes

At our cheese wedding cake shop, we understand that payment issues and discrepancies can be frustrating for our customers. 

In this support article, we provide guidance on what you should do if you encounter any payment issues or discrepancies when purchasing one of our delightful cheese wedding cakes.

1. Contact our customer support team

If you notice any payment-related problems, such as being charged the incorrect amount or not receiving a confirmation email, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible. You can reach us through our support portal in the General inquiries > Contact Information section. Provide as much information as possible, including your order number, the date of the transaction, and any relevant screenshots.

2. Provide necessary details

When contacting our customer support team, it is essential to provide all relevant details about the payment issue or discrepancy. This may include information such as the payment method used, the amount charged, and any transaction reference numbers. Having this information readily available will help our team quickly and efficiently resolve the issue.

3. Initiate a dispute through your payment provider

If our customer support team is unable to resolve the payment issue, you may need to initiate a dispute through your payment provider. Visa, for example, offers a chargeback option for disputed purchases made with Visa cards. Keep in mind that chargeback is not a legal right, but participating providers follow specific rules.

You can make a chargeback claim for various issues, including unauthorised transactions, incorrect amounts charged, or if you did not receive the product or service you paid for. Remember to contact us first before making a chargeback claim, as we may be able to resolve the issue without involving your payment provider.

4. Keep records of your communication

It's essential to keep records of all communication with our customer support team and your payment provider. This may include emails, live chat transcripts, or phone call records. Providing this evidence may help support your case in the event of a dispute.

5. Know your consumer rights

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 makes consumer rights easier to understand and can provide additional protection in the event of a payment dispute. For credit card transactions over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may offer extra protection.

If a claim is refused, consider contacting your card provider and referring the dispute to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).

By following these steps, we hope to help you resolve any payment issues or discrepancies you may encounter while shopping for your perfect cheese wedding cake. Remember, our customer support team is always here to help and ensure a smooth and enjoyable shopping experience.

Stay safe and enjoy your cheese wedding cake!
