Refund merchant service charges on refunded transactions.
Petition card issuers to refund merchant service charges when refunds are processed for cancelled holidays or other services and products.
With thousands of card refunds being processed in the travel industry (and other sectors) due to the Corona Virus, agents and operators are losing large amounts of money as they are charged for the original transaction and then charged again to process a refund. We are asking that any charges are refunded to the merchant in this instance.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government is not responsible for Merchant Service Charges, these are set by banks,
You could start a petition asking the Government to encourage banks to waive these charges for refunds relating to coronavirus, or to set up a fund to reimburse companies that lose money to these charges as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
