H&R Block Emerald Credit Card Won't Refund us our money!! Internet
We tried to make a purchase online for $408.00 with our H&R Block prepaid Mastercard at a store online. The online store did not have the item in stock that we were trying to purchase and voided our order. It did not go thru and the online store did not receive any money. H&R Block is saying that the online store has to send them a fax releasing the funds to them for legal reasons. We have been on the phone back and forth for a whole week now and have been told numerous stories. The online store says they will not fax H&R block any release forms because they did not receive the money since it was voided immediately, therefore-there is no reason for them to release money they never had. As I said, I have been on the phone for days now with both of these companies and it's VERY frustrating when your in America and cannot understand what the person at H&R Block is saying because they can't speak very good English. One time they tell you that the money will be put back on your card in 2 days, the next time they tell you it will be 24 hours and the next time they tell you they are not going to do it until they receive the fax from the merchant. It is VERY annoying to be lied to and then told "well I guess you will have to wait until the PENDING transaction expires in January". Are they serious?? This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for our son and it breaks my heart to know they can get away with this and not even give a crap. We just want our money back so we can make a purchase elsewhere. I want everyone out there to know what kind of business they are. They do not care one bit about their customers!

The card company is only allowed to hold the authorization for a specified time and if it is not submitted by the company the funds are released.

This is the responsibilty of the company you ordered from. When you placed the order they proessed the approval request. This put the $408 in the pending status waiting for the company to ask for the money. H&R has no way of knowing if the company is going to request the money or not unless the store tells them. Then H&R could release the pending status and give you access to the money again. If H&R were to release the hold without anything in writing from the company they could lose money. The company could ask for the money that would have to be paid and then you would say the money shouldn't have been sent to them. It's a hassle to have your money tied up but it is the fault of the store and not H&R.
And no I do not work for H&R.
