PrestigeDiesels 5 Posted February 9, 2016 A Few years ago we decided to get some Fuel Cards, not to save money but we seemed to have a problem with lost fuel receipts. We decided to go with the Fuel Card company and although there was no great saving, the ease of use of a bill each month certainly helped my receipt headache. Anyway 2 years down the line and I have to admit this is hard to say but we have been robbed blind! Every week we receive a set price for our fuel by email, of course I would check to see if the prices were inline with the pumps and they were so after a while I stopped checking.... More the fool me!! I have just found out that we have been paying £1.29 PLUS VAT for Diesel from Texaco - I don't need to say anymore, I'm angry, annoyed and frustrated at myself. Lesson learnt, don't become complacent in this day and age with anything. Guys if you have fuel cards all I can say is check your pricing as you might be involved in the Great British Fuel Card Rip Off too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

umesh 336 Posted February 10, 2016 Had similar with Shell , couple of years ago filled my car up £70 - when the bill came through just glanced to make sure reg no's tied up - I thought it didn't make sense - added vat to it and it was about £2.70 more - quizzed the company - they game me some bull but changed the 'settings' so not the pump price matches invoice ! Amazing at 1st they couldn't -( or wouldn't ) understand me , I said I might as well pay with my debit /credit card at the pumps as thats the 'pump' price, but you're adding on anything between £1.50/£3.00 per transaction for using the fuel card.Got to watch every single business - they're all out to scam us !!

Cornish Guy 45 Posted February 10, 2016 Allstar introduced a £3 transaction fee a couple of years ago. I have known of lots of companies thinking that retailers were rip offs because they thought they were paying a lot less than the pump price. The number that couldn't understand that they had to add VAT to their price frightened me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamslug 91 Posted February 10, 2016 I had the same with the Fuel Card Company . They gave me some rubbish that it creeps up over a period of time and it's my job to phone on a regular basis to keep ensuring it doesn't go up. I said well put it back down then and they said that now I have phoned it will gradually decrease on a week by week basis. Now i'm using a debit card.

ProjectSwarm 0 Posted April 9, 2016 Sounds like a lot of you are having problems with your fuel cards if any of you are having problems I recently managed to help PrestigeDeisels with there fuel cards I work for a fuel card company myself,you should be getting around 81-82 ex cat or 98-99 including vat depending on what card you have, the company I work for doesn't work on margins/ high prices I get a basic and commission on what litres you use so high prices won't be a thing for you if Intrested either let me know your contact number or a form of contact thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
