A couple of months in the past, I stayed at the Rigdon Residence, a boutique inn in Cambria, California, which we reserved by Scheduling.com. I indicated I would pay back for our lodging at the time of arrival.
I paid out the hotel when I checked in. Then I received a second charge on our financial institution assertion that was created by Booking.com.
I’ve expended 5 months trying to get Scheduling.com to refund the $1,057 that they billed me. I have communicated through email messages, chats and cellphone phone calls, all with diverse sales reps who requested we deliver the similar documentation. I have sent the documentation three times now.
Booking.com certain me a manager or supervisor would get back to me. But no one particular did.
I’ve talked with anyone at the lodge a lot of moments as perfectly, and they even contacted Reserving.com on my behalf. Reserving.com instructed the resort that my refund had been processed. But it has not.
