Now that things have slowed down I want to share with you
my experience THIS YEAR ONLY in accepting credit cards.
Never before, in 16 years, has this happened to me.
We received many reservations but 6 people disputed the
charges amounting to $2000.00 and WON! These folks
stayed at my B&B, ate the breakfasts, occupied the rooms,
but disputed the charges for ludicrous reasons in spite of the fact that all the terms were clearly stated on the booking form and agreed to by them. When I contacted the credit card companies they said that certain people disputed all their charges and that they ruled in their favor because they gave "loyalty" to their customers!
I know in a Court of law I would have won, but these people were all from out of State and for the small amount on each one, there really wasnt anything I could do. I not only lost the $2000. but also the food!
I would like to know if anybody else ever had these problems. One man's excuse was that we were too far away from his work!
