Citibank finalized my dispute with AU

I cancelled my order and disputed all of the charges ($20 and $79.98 initial charges in March) and the double charge in August. I just got written notification that AU didn't put up much of a fight and the charges have been permanently credited to my account. So if you're trying to get your money ba...

FWIW chargebacks do cost the vendor quite a bit of money. The credit card companies will charge a vendor a fee for chargebacks and take the money out of their merchant account without notice. Plus if enough chargebacks occur the company that's processing the cards for the vendor may jack up the % ch...

Is there actually any useful information out there? As they say about something too good to be true.. it's clear Ross has packed up and moved on with his spoils. If you didn't cancel, dispute your charge, were afraid of disputing the charges, had hope, etc. you bought what you have already in your p...

This is "oh so true." What is on the bonus disc, anyway? Anyone feel like doing some due diligence and seeing if the Museum of TV and Radio was paid? This assumes that: a) AU ever ship the bonus materials b) They use UPS for the shipment, which is unlikely due to the cost I sent an email to the Mus...

Keep the original envelope it was mailed in. Definitely copy front/back of the check. Dust for fingerprints (kidding.. or maybe..) And make sure you do not count that money in your account until it really has cleared. No point in bouncing something after you think you've got that extra $100 in the a...

The fact that the set was going to be released on DVD-Rs raised some issues. I'm glad you decided to forgo the cheap route and go with real DVDs. However, any product that AU has any type of involvement in or stands to profit from is off my list of places to buy from. I will be advising everyone on ...

You know what? The bottom line is people are still out money or have not received their DVDs and promised bonus materials from AU. If they had there wouldn't be a new post every day asking about tracking numbers, whether others had received their DVDs or how to get a refund over 60 days from your cr...

I was offered nothing, and I am not defending Ross in ANY way for the double charges... I even only got my DVDs today !!! I am only repeating what he is telling me and trying to find a logical explanation out of his statements. But I am the only one talking to Ross, and if I keep attacking him he w...

Jason, I think by all accounts of the cash flow and whatever the rabble on RagingBull thinks AU simply doesn't have any money right now. So they are deliberately not refunding people because there is no money to refund. RR and company are hoping that people will go away and just write off the $100-2...

I think there's a significant distinction between bad business practices and this deliberate attempt to supplement a bottom line with fraudulent charges. I don't think anyone believes AU accidentally double charged all of these people or has any intention of actually refunding any money (which by Ma...

Be persistant about your claim. I'm assuming you paid by check or debit card rather than credit card which will make it a bit more difficult for you to get your money back. Someone may be able to help you out with debit card protection or you can go directly to the visa or mastercard sites and revie...

This just illustrates the need to aggressively pursue any money owed to you via your bank. Now. Assume AU will never even think about perhaps processing your refund ever.

At times lipsynch may also be due to the player. I have not had the chance to review this episode myself.
