ILLEGALLY not refunding and now posting FAKE reviews!!!?
Guys, it's time to do a chargeback (credit card) or payment dispute (debit card) with your bank because they're breaking the law AND posting FAKE positive reviews now - they are absolutely terrible and treating us customers with contempt.
Hoseasons are not (cannot) provide the service their customers have paid for. Therefore, by law, they HAVE to offer a full refund to customers affected.
BY NOT OFFERING (AND EVEN REFUSING!) TO GIVE REFUNDS, THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW.
They're also now posting FAKE positive reviews on this site to try and limit the damage to their reputation - this is also ILLEGAL and against TP's terms. They really have some nerve don't they!???
DEMAND a Full Refund from them by emailing them directly, posting on their Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
FAX THEM (if you can) - Get your letter/demand/complaint noticed faster: 01502 514298
Don't wait for a reply (you won't get one, or if you do it'll be the generic 'sorry no refunds' reply).All the evidence of their refusal to give refunds is all over social media and review sites. Take screenshots.
