I went to the ASDA petrol pump today and filled up my tank with £60 petrol., the one I went to had only the pay by card option, there was no kiosk with people inside to help,
I had £120 in my bank and after buying £60 of petrol my mini statement should show something like'' available balance £120, max cash withdrawal £60 but my ticket shows max cash withdrawal £120 and no sign on mini statement of petrol.
Anyway before I put petrol in the car I put my card in the reader and back out again, then after put £60 in the tank, I inserted my bank card into the reader on the petrol pump (first time I ever paid by card so was a bit unsure of how it worked.) I expected it to want me to enter my pin number but it didn't, as I put my card back in it just kept hold of my card, gave me a receipt and then give me my card back,
Anyway I went to the asda cash point and checked that my money had been debited , it hadn't, nor would it show on my mini statement, I asked the woman at asda and she said it could just take a few hours to be taken from my account, yet on my ticket my available balance is still £60 higher than it should be, it should be - £60 available balance?
That was about 8am this morning, 20 mins ago I checked again and still it hasn't been debited nor showing up on my mini statement, it looks as though I hadn't even been the pump, there was no showing on the ticket, no money debited.
Yet I have some sort of receipt from the pump that reads £60 credited.
I don't want it to look as though I've made of without paying , I'll keep hold of that ticket as proof I attempted to pay and I'll keep £60 in my bank for the next few days or weeks in case it does go out, however what are the chances that the machine may have been faulty and I have got free petrol, what could happen if it turns out I didn't pay but my mistake, will I get a letter in the next few days or something or am I in the clear? thanks
