9. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMETHING GOES
WRONG?
9.1 What to do if an incorrect, late or unauthorised
Transaction takes place
If you or a Cardholder, Authorised Virtual User or
Authorised Lodge User suspects that an incorrect,
late or unauthorised Transaction has been made
from an Account, please contact us without undue
delay (and within a maximum of 13 months after the
date the Transaction is debited to the Account) by
calling 0800 0964 743 or contacting your branch.
9.2 What we’ll do if you notify us of an incorrect or late
Transaction
(a) If you or any Cardholder, Authorised Virtual User
or Authorised Lodge User gives us incorrect
Transaction details when making a payment then
we’ll make reasonable efforts to recover your
payment. We may not be able to recover the
payment and we may charge you a fee for trying.
If we charge you a fee it will be the same amount
as it costs us to try. If we’re unable to recover the
payment we won’t refund you.
(b) If you tell us that we’ve made a payment which:
(i) hasn’t been received by the payee; or
(ii) was our error,
we’ll immediately try to recover the payment when
you ask us to and refund you without undue delay
(including any charges or interest which you’ve
paid as a result of the payment being taken) unless
we can show that the payee’s bank received the
payment from us on time in which case you should
contact the payee’s bank for a refund or
confirmation that the payment will be credited to
the payee’s account.
(c) If we make or credit a payment later than we said
we would, then we will put your account back in
the position it would have been had we not made
the error. You can also ask us to contact the other
bank and ask them to correct the amount of
interest on their customer’s account.
9.3 What we’ll do if you notify us of an unauthorised
Transaction
(a) If you or any Cardholder, Authorised Virtual User
or Authorised Lodge User have notified us of an
unauthorised Transaction arising from the use of a
lost or stolen Card, or the misuse of a Card, your
maximum liability for this will be £25 unless you or
any Cardholder, Authorised Virtual User or
Authorised Lodge User have acted fraudulently or
with gross negligence.
(b) If you or any Cardholder, Authorised Virtual User
or Authorised Lodge User have acted fraudulently
or with gross negligence you will be liable for the
full amount of any losses we incur as a result of
any unauthorised Transactions (including any
Charges).
(c) If you or any Cardholder were not able to detect
the loss, theft or misuse of the card prior to the
payment, or if the unauthorised transaction was
our fault, you will not be liable for any loss.
(d) If you are entitled to a refund we’ll normally refund
such unauthorised Transactions as soon as
practicable and by no later than the end of the
next Business Day (including any charges or
interest which you’ve paid as a result of the
payment being taken) unless we reasonably
suspect that you’re not entitled to a refund (for
example, if we suspect the claim may be
fraudulent). In those circumstances, we may need
to investigate your claim before offering a refund
and we may need additional information from you
to help our investigation.
(e) If you’ve any claim against a User arising from
their use of an Account or Instrument then you
agree that you will pursue this without recourse to
us. You agree to fully indemnify us against all
claims, liability, damages, costs and expenses,
including legal fees, arising out of a breach of the
Agreement by a User, even where such breach is
a result of, or been made possible by, us breaching
the Agreement.
(f) You, Cardholders, Virtual Accountholders and/or
Authorised Lodge Users agree that you will help
us, or any person acting on our behalf, investigate
any unauthorised Transactions.
(g) Once you’ve told us a Card has been lost, stolen or
misused by someone else, we’ll cancel it and you
won’t be responsible for any further Transactions
made with it. If you find the Card, you mustn’t use
it. To help prevent fraud, cut it in half through the
signature box, magnetic strip and chip.
9.4 What we’ll do if the payer’s bank tells us about an
incorrect payment
We may take a payment from an Account if the
payer’s bank tells us that this payment was sent to
you incorrectly. If this happens we will hold the
money and contact you to tell you what has
happened. We will ask you to confirm if the payment
was sent to you incorrectly. If we can’t get in touch
with you within 15 business days, then we’ll return the
payment to the payer. You consent to us sharing
information about you with the payer’s bank to help
them recover the payment.
9.5 Payments processed without you agreeing the
amount
(a) Where you authorise a Transaction without
knowing how much the final amount will be then
we’ll refund you if:
(i) you didn’t know the exact amount of the
Transaction when you authorised it;
(ii) the amount of the Transaction exceeded what
you could reasonably have expected to pay
(excluding increases resulting from exchange
rate fluctuations);
(iii) the payment was made in the EEA; and
(iv) ou ask for a refund within 8 weeks of the date
the payment left an Account.
9.6 Liability Waiver
(a) If you’ve more than one Card and or a Virtual
Account you will be automatically protected
against losses arising from the unauthorised use
of Cards by Cardholders and Virtual Account
Details by an Authorised Virtual User, by the
Liability Waiver that we’ll put in place for you
provided you comply with the terms of the
