Failed transaction, poor communications, anyone looking to do class action?
Recently did a funds transfer to purchase an item from a Hong Kong based company. The funds were debited from my account and credited to the payee, but PingPong kept saying the transaction was "pending" approval. Then I checked their website again, said it "failed"; PingPong never even bothered to notify me of this. The payee company did acknowledge this, said their funds are still in their account but unavailable. Now I am seeing these complaints, and looking to join others in possible legal action. UPDATE: Was contacted by PingPong; they said it would take perhaps 60 days to reconcile and return my money; additionally, their website now says my "bill" is "overdue". I've sent them pointed messages, plus I went to my bank to file a dispute claim; my bank says they should resolve in 45 days with a 10 day provisional credit, which is certainly better than 60-plus days. UPDATE #2: After all that's happened, this company has the audacity to send me spam trying to tell me what wonderful services they offer. Well, I've blocked that email addy. Let's hope the only thing I hear from them is notice of funds returned and an apology.
