blueroyals Section 75 is one of the nice consumer friendly protections which, if loans were invented today, would never in a million years be passed into law


Possibly, possibly not. The government has legislated to reimburse all victims of payment fraud, no matter how many warnings they ignore from their bank that they're about to pay money to a known fraudsters account.


Well at least they'd be "wasting" money on people for a change.

Happy to get this thread back onto takeover talk! BBC Berks spoke to Mark McGhee last night (interview will probably be replayed on their Saturday sport show today and is available via the BBC sounds app) and he revealed he'd been asked by some German contacts of his about purchasing the club back in January and he had sounded out Reading about the possibility of buying the club. Unfortunately the pricing quoted put the German interest off but he spoke warmly of those he had been speaking to at the club saying the vibe he got was that they gave the impression of really having the clubs best interest at heart.

Buying anything worth more than £100 on debit card is stupid. If it never turns up, or the company goes bust, a credit card company just gives you the money back no questions asked.

Martin Lewis' very existence clearly still passing millions by.
People are stupid.
I know an accountant who bought a top of the range TV on her debit card from a website nobody has ever heard of, it didn't turn up and the website disappeared :roll:

Also, when paying with paypal, never use friends and familly to pay even if the seller insists because that means you are not covered.

If a product didn't turn up, that would come under a chargeback claim. You can dispute payments made in the previous 120 days (some times longer) and is designed for items not turning up or being faulty; although this link suggests services (like flights or concerts) have a 540 day window (starting from the date of the planned event).

It's based on an agreement between the card provider (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) and the issuer (typically a bank) and not a legal protection. That accountant could've simply complained to their bank to get the money back.

Anyone paying for anything on a debit card, where chargeback has been refused, can then go to the Financial Ombudsman and then to court. The process under chargeback may be longer however and there's no specific time scale.

Interestingly* the credit card protection comes under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, with no piece of legislation since being directly related to refunds of payments made by card since despite the major increase in proliferation since.



"Anyone paying for anything on a debit card, where chargeback has been refused, can then go to the Financial Ombudsman and then to court. The process under chargeback may be longer however and there's no specific time scale."

Or you could simply pay by Credit card, if you have a dispute or overcharge simply ring your card provider and they sort it for you.

I know which I would prefer.

TL:DR - a) are you or are you not a mug if you renew your ST right now? and b) too many RFC fans work in financial services.

Nice to hear that the club has been sending out email reminders regarding the renewal of season tickets. As someone who first bought a ST in 1975 and has had one for each of the last 23 years, I am mildly surprised not to have had a single communication from the club since I last renewed a year ago. Given the shitshow around everything else at the club, my surprise is, as I said, only mild.

You clearly don't have email configured correctly as they send comms out pre/post game.

Nah, looked there. I’ve had pre-match emails for years, but assumed the person responsible had been laid off. Oh well, can’t say I’m too bothered.

If the new buyer has a credit card with a big enough limit to buy us then they're not short of a few bob.

I'm sure lots of people are holding off in case it all goes tits up, I'm not that confident the Royals will be lining up in August if Dai is still in charge and they would say that anyway wouldn't they? I mean the marketing dept wouldn't send out a reminder to get your ST caveated by administration/oblivion if we don't sell!


Surely people would be buying on a credit card and would therefore simply claim the money back from the credit card company if the club folded?

That implies people have credit cards. Around 64% of adults have at least one credit card in the UK - leaving 36% without one. The age breakdown is such that younger people are significantly less likely to have one than a middle-aged adult as well.


That really surprised me, 1/3 of U.K. adults don’t have a credit card :o

You can use Paypal to pay either a business or send money to someone you know. If you do the latter, it is not considered a service, just a quick way of giving someone you know cash. So if something goes wrong Paypal don't cover it - but for a business transaction they do.

If ever I am buying something with PayPal, I tend to use their interest free pay in 30 days option and pay off the amount as soon as my order arrives and all is OK.

Plenty scammed where the seller asks you to send friends and family and then no goods arrive, Some give you the option, Pay friends and family or Pay Goods and Service but for a slightly higher cost to cover the fees, which is reasonable as long as it's all in black and white up front.

Presumably not covered by the law that says that prices cannot be different fir different methods of payment

BURTON ALBION.......
Ole Jakob Strandhagen has been appointed as Chairman, NFG’s Founder and CEO Tom Davidson as Deputy Chairman, Bendik Hareide as Sporting Director, while Kevin C. Skabo will take up the role of Commercial Director.

NFG told Burton Albion website: “We are privileged and grateful for this torch to be passed on to us, and we take this responsibility of being the custodians of your football club extremely seriously. Over time, we aim to earn your respect and friendship through our execution of this responsibility. This opportunity means a great deal to us, and we understand that the future progress and performance of Burton Albion Football Club now rests squarely on our shoulders, as they have on Ben's until today.

"We can assure you that we are committed to doing everything in our power to help move this football club forward as effectively as we possibly can, and to be proud ambassadors for the town and people of Burton upon Trent."

Seem to have a good understanding of what "ownership" really means

Lets hope our new guys can express the same sort of sentiment

Burton have already heard more from their owners in 5 minutes than Reading have heard from theirs in 7 years.
