I had a prepaid booking for a Premier Inn hotel in London for next January and needed to change it to September this year. Premier Inns allows free date changes for the same hotel, subject to any difference in price.
In my case the new dates were GBP10 cheaper, so I received a refund for this amout. So far so good. However, for some reason, best known to itself, the online system "lost" another GBP82, and then claimed I only had GBP1 credit left, so I'd have to pay another GBP82 on arrival (effectively being charged twice).
I spoke by phone to a customer service rep at PI, who claimed that I had actually been sent a refund for the missing GBP82. Clearly this is not the case, so I have effectively been fleeced of the money. Needless to say I have raised a dispute with my CC company.
