Comment on Letting users fill out a form before notifying them that they need to sign in to submit it is scummy and needs to end.

  Yes, you can. It’s called a chargeback. Companies hate it, because it’s a refund plus a fee/fine they have to pay for being awful. You just call your credit card company and ask them to initiate a chargeback. They’ll ask some questions about if/how you attempted to go through the right channels, how much time you allowed them, etc.

    I knew there was a mechanism but not the name for it! Thank you!

    Charge backs aren’t just granted arbitrarily though. I spent almost $1k on getting my wheels refurbished. When I got them back, they had done more damage rather than repair them, and now the wheels cause major vibration.

    Visa denied the charge back because a “service was provided.” Despite the owner telling me on a recorded call that he’d never refund me or make it right, and sending over forty pictures of before and after. I’m out the money and Visa couldn’t care less.

      Yeah, they are not wrong, as crappy as that is. I hope you looked at small claims court though.
