Book a Track won't REFUND!

[83SY]

Not happy Booked a day with Book a Track July 2nd at Donny & had to cancel due to work commitments & understood that I would loose a 20% admin fee but... they have said because I was a couple of hours late sending them an email to cancel (within 7days) I will loose the whole £320 or have a credit note...!

1) I think 20% is enough to loose considering they have places still available so havent turned anyone away & really how much admin have they done!

2) Im doing Donny 31/8 and expect that's it for 2012 so I would have to wait till summer next year to use this £320 & after this I would use them again!

Their response was - 'if you dont want the credit not which is a good will gesture then we will keep the full amount'

Should have listened to the guy's that warned me of 'Book a Twat'

Cant believe their attitude! Just sent another email basically saying I wasnt happy & could they do anything for me? They replied.....

'For the avoidance of doubt, we will most definitely NOT be refunding your card'

Wa#kers!

I organise Trackdays in Ireland and I have to say I'm on Bookatracks side of the fence...obviously

The problem you get with giving out credit notes/refunds etc is that you get people trying to cancel due to poor weather forecast, work commitments etc

I have a no refund policy. If you book and can't make it then it's your loss, however in certain circumstances i will give the person a credit for the next trackday etc

if you booked a Ryanair flight to spain and had to cancel due to work commitments do you really think they would give you a refund? or any airline for that matter.

Honestly the credit note is a generous gesture that they are not obliged to do. I'd be happier with that rather than giving them 20% admin fee which is a total scam

Fact of the matter is 20% is a joke, what have they done for this & they have spaces available so they havent lost a thing (other than my future business)

If they had refunded minus the 20% i would have took it on the chin & booked again with them but they are bloody rude!
& the fact I was a matter of hours out of the 7days to get a refund! Not the way to run a business IMO

I was warned of their attitude! should have listened to Shimmy...

no refund is pretty common these days as Barry says, you used to be able to bail out late if the weather looked bad but times have changed

a refund is what you want but voucher is good although means you have to speak to them again

I have had problems with them before where they have given me a credit with a time limit, due to not having a car then luckily got my mates to use the credit and they gave me the cash back.

To be honest Shim if they had been polite I would have been fine but I dont want to attend anything they run in the future!
