I checked my bank statement online and noticed a pending debit payment for almost £72.
I had no idea what it was for so I checked every online account I have, Amazon, eBay, QVC etc in case I had done something stupid after wine o'clock but there was nothing on order so suspecting fraud I phoned my bank.
They checked my account and said that the money had been put 'on hold' by QVC!
I called QVC and it was a forgotten auto-delivery, fair enough, but then she said that they were having trouble getting the stock and did I still want it?!
QVC reserved a chunk of my money to pay for stock they do not have without having the courtesy to tell me, so much for them saying 'we don't take payment until the goods have been dispatched'
I don't live from payday to payday but for those that do it could have pushed their bank account into the red.
