This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I have today discovered 2 unathorised payments taken from my Bank account in the name of Shopperdisc.co.uk for £10.00 on the 11th of each month, December 2012 and January 2013. I do not know what these payments are for and have not ever made any agreement with the company, Shopperdisc.co.uk. I contacted the Bank who informed me that I must have ticked a box agreeing to the payments. I then recalled that I had ticked a box for discounts information and vouchers to be e-mailed to me, in the style of Groupon, but at no point did it state that I would have to pay some money. Surely if I had to pay some money I would have had to give my bank details and agree to the money being taken. This was not the case. The Bank informed me that they cannot stop the direct debit and so therefore I demand that you stop any further deductions immediately from my bank account, and give me a full refund for the payments taken so far.

Yes same here shopperdisc has been taking £10.00 a month from me and I did not realise and I certainly not have given permission, it's been happening for about 6months, ok I know I am an idiot and should have checked my statement more closely but just did not realise, very angry,

I seem to have had a £10.00 debit from this Shopperdisc.co.uk for the past two months from my Barclays account! I don't know who they are, and what the hell I'm being charged for. This has now been sent onto my banks fraud investigation team. I intend to fully pursue this, and I hope that the police will be involved. I would sugest that any other person who has had these un-authed charges of £10.00 to contact their banks and do the same.

I have just found shopperdisc payment on my statement, who are they? I have just purchased some worming product for my chickens of Animed direct, not sure if this has some thing to do with it but there is a charge of £1.22 and on top of that a payment of £10.00 total £11.22, but my animal direct cost was £13.20 so who or what this shopperdisc payment is for i have no idea. will be looking in to this Im not paying them anymore plus will be asking for the money back.

i had the same problem with Shopperdisc.co.uk so I called them on a freephone number, [protected] or [protected].
After a little pre-amble to establish my identity and credit card number I cancelled the whole deal there and then. No Problem.

hi everyone
i have the same problem as all of you, shopperdisc tricked me into this membership for 14 months but i did not stop at canceling the £10 debit membership fee, i demanded compensation from my bank for failing to protect me as a customer and i got £10 from them not a huge amount but its better then nothing. then i contacted the company and i give them a very hard time, do not give up if they tell you its your fault make sure you have the angry voice tone which am sure you'd have naturally, but keep calm.
they will tell you they can only refund one month but if you keep the good work and keep pushing them it will soon go up to 3 months then ask for a further refund form which will state at the beginning that you can only claim up to 6 months but if you continue reading it will ask you to tick a section if you want to claim more. they only put people throw all those steps hoping that they will give up, DONT BE THE ONE WHO DOES!
I have included the letter i sent them and the form, i hope its in any use for u guys.
good luck

Hi Mahita,
I too have been a victim of shopperdisc.co.uk. I had a painful conversation with them today, which did not end to well.
I have canceled my membership, and submitted the claim form along with a letter similar to the one you posted above.

I just wanted to know if you had any luck in recieved a full refund from them?

... Or anyone else here recieved a full refund from them?

HERE IS A UPDATE ON SHOPPER DISCOUNT AND REWARDS THAT WERE TAKING TEN POUND A MONTH FROM MY ACCOUNT. I SENT MY CLAIM FORM TO THEM THAT THEY E MAILED ME TO CANCEL MY SO CALLED ACCOUNT THAT I HAD TAKEN OUT WITH THEM, I ALSO TOOK SOME COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE OFF THE INTERNET, THAT THEY TOO, HAD BEEN CONNED INTO THIS SCHEME, AND I PUT THEM IN WITH MY CLAIM FORM. I ALSO WROTE THEM A LETTER TO GO WITH IT AND TOLD THEM I WAS NOT HAPPY, LIKE THE COMMENTS THAT I HAD ENCLOSED FROM ALL THE PEOPLE THEY HAD CONNED INTO THIS SCHEME AND TOLD THEM I EXPECTED ALL THE MONEY THEY HAD TOOK, TO BE PAID BACK. I ALSO TOLD THEM I HAD INFORMED ACTION FRAUD ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE DOING. I RECIVED A EMAIL FROM THEM ABOUT A WEEK LATER SAYING THEY WOULD BE REFUNDING £120 TO MY ACCOUNT. JUST WAITING FOR IT TO GO INTO MY ACCOUNT. ANYBODY ELSE CONNED BY THEM, JUST KEEP AT THEM, YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEY BACK.

The payments you took out of my bank are not in any way anything to do with me. I want my money back, how can you do this, I bet you call it legal. I call it underhanded. I also said the same to Mytime rewards who did the same £40 is a lot to steal from a pentioner your both as bad as eachother scaming from people.

I have also noticed that £10 deductions have been ongoing against my account since october 2011. I would like the company to refund me the amount they have deducted from my account, and do so in full. I have every intention of taking this further and will be taking legal action against shopperdisc.

Rang the freephone No today [protected], (had to go through some security questions). I asked who they were and stated that they had been taking out money from my account for the past 24mths, the person stated that I had bought tickets from the 'trainline' website and that I opted in to a 30 day free trial that was also advertised from that site. I stated that I may have opted to a 30 day free trial but did not agree to them deducting £10 per mth and that I had never used their service. The person was very polite and confirmed that I had never used their servicse and that they would refund me the past 3mths monies. I told them that I wanted ALL of my monies back or would take the matter further and he stated he would email me the claim form for me to complete and either post or fax back.

Status is ongoing and I will let you know the outcome...

Same thing happened to me - Argos purchase inititated the link to . I am absolutely enraged by this and am not about to give in to this scam. Apparently been going on for years - whats wrong with our laws? They should all be in jail by now. Instead they continue with their scams.

I've had a response from customerservice@shopperdiscountsandrewards.co.uk - just giving me the runaround. They may have picked the wrong person. Have already contacted Slater & Gordon requesting a class action be initiated. And, written to all authorities I can think of. Hoping to get a TV program interested in exposing these ###.
