Is there anyway to pay for something but then not pay for it but still get it?

AMKC

Normally I would not even consider something like this but I bought an electric bike recently and the bastards are messing with me now about oh the battery was with it even do it was not. I paid enough for it already. I do not see why I should pay anymore.

Could I do it using a Credit Card and then cancel the credit before two weeks or would they still get money?

Is this a riddle?

Watt?

I’ll try decipher your riddle. Bought an electric bike, paid a bit for it but received a different model than advertised with a better battery and now the shop want the difference owed.

If that’s the case, you owe them money or hand back what you got and get all your money back.

Or he got no battery. Hard to tell, may have been battered when he wrote it 😀

Be a strange electric bike with no battery :)

magicbastarder

'i bought an electric bike with no battery and now i'm not going to pay for it' would suggest that the shop let him take the bike even though he's not paid for it?

Exactly, would explain the OP getting hammered, and considering financial fraud. 😃

^ Not all electric bikes need a battery.

Not sure how practical it would be cycling with 2 kitchen tables pulled behind you.

OP is the type that would buy a return train ticket and not come back. Just to spite CIE.

I wish. I paid for it. They never sent me the battery even do it was part of the price of it.

Be a bit hard to get hammered or drunk or whatever you want to call it when one does not drink.

Nope I just hop on the train or bus and off wherever I want. Pay for are you mad.

Can you stick in a bunch of AA batteries?

To answer your question.

No. The credit card company takes on the debt. If you then "close" the account the credit card company comes after you. Your credit rating will be damaged. The bike shop will still have got their money.

How did you pay in the first place. IF you paid by CC you have a couple of months to do a charge back as you didn't get what you paid for.

I wish I did. I paid by direct debit. Can you do a charge back on that?

When was the direct debit payment taken? I think you can request a refund within 8 weeks.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118939491#Comment_118939491

Not sure on a direct debit. Did you mean debit card?

Unfortunately longer than that.

Yes I meant debit card

If the provider is based in the EU, you have pretty strong consumer rights.

Yes with a voucher.

Contact your bank and see if they have a procedure and deadline to apply for a chargeback. You can get a charge back with a debit cards within a time frame.

Thank you. I will do that.

Are you sure the battery was included? It's not uncommon to have to purchase a battery separately with some things.

Post the link to what you bought, I'm not familiar with electric bikes.

On Amazon I told them my Blu Ray case arrived cracked which was true and I did receive a refund of cheap items but on items around £10 they require you to send it back.

For cam girls tell them you want to pay via PayPal and then report the transaction to PayPal for breaking the rules and sometimes they cancel the transaction.
