below is the transcirpt of the current dispute I am going through with VC.

In short they have decided to resettle one of my bets 2 days after settlement as a loser when it was a winner leaving my account in a negaive balance.

Absolute shambles.

Any experiences with them over similar?

Any advice greatfully received.

16:31:36 : Kevin C - Contact Centre: this bet was wrongly settled


16:31:50 : Danny: What do you mean!


16:32:31 : Kevin C - Contact Centre: it was settled as a winner but it wasn't


16:34:17 : Danny: This is rubbish. Nothing has been wrongly settled as I would have queried it at the time. You can't just mess about with my account without telling me. I don't know where to begin to sort this out.


16:36:22 : Danny: It was a winner


16:36:50 : Danny: The first 4 frames in that match finished 2-2 so he won on the handicap.


16:38:56 : Kevin C - Contact Centre: I will get settlements to look in to this for you


16:39:15 : Danny: What the hell do you think you are playing at?!

16:45:05 : Danny: That bet has been voided incorrectly. It was a winner. I don't know where you've got your information from, but you are wrong.


16:45:44 : Danny: I want your manager on here now.

16:50:11 : Dawn - Contact Centre: One moment please let me read the chat


16:51:56 : Dawn - Contact Centre: I have read your chat and I can see that the bet was resettled as a losing bet, this making your account in the minus


16:52:41 : Dawn - Contact Centre: It does state in the terms and conditions that we can resettle the bet.


16:52:58 : Danny: It shouldn't have been resettled as a loser....


16:53:03 : Danny: It won.

They've made a mistake - was 2-2 at the interval.

Shocking how vc are acting here.  If settlement section won't settle than your option is IBAS which is a bet settlement dispute service which will take some time to sort this bet out.  Other option might be small claims court with daily interest added to bet not settled but I am not an expert on how to proceed with that. 

Bookmakers are getting worse with not paying with wrong settlements, refusing to settle, bonus condition changes and the new scam where several high streets are paying concessions not in money but in free bets.  As punters have no 'gambling union' bookies are trying to get out of bets usually after the bet has come good for the punter.  Even the other day a guy I know had to wait a day for his fobt money from a high street bookie  claiming 'money laundering' checks.

don't think your attitude helped tbh

Nilsson i've been told that before and you're probably right.

I really struggle with stuff like this. Makes me so angry.
Report sickofbookies April 25, 2012 5:59 PM BST
Thanks for the advice above people.

It's been resolved now.

It took an hour and 20 minutes to sort out from start to finish which I suppose isn't bad considering they could have gone down the 'we'll e-mail you back at our own convienience route'.

Given free £25 and assured that they are looking into the person who decided to go back 2 days to resettle and winning and make it a loser.

It should be reviewed through the snooker trader. He should be aware that a settlement data has been inputted incorrectly. Ask for Cliff on the snooker desk. Unless they have changed personnel.
Report sickofbookies April 25, 2012 6:02 PM BST
I don't think it would have anything to do with data Angel as it was settled as a winner at the time. Must have been manually adjusted this morning at some point, but god knows why.

Pleased you got it sorted. Frustrating all this too and from with Live chat.
Report Angel Gabrial April 25, 2012 6:04 PM BST
You need to input a code to manually change the settlement. Either data inputters or trader.

This is merely a mistake that got rectified in the end.

What is happening to us Betfred customers who backed Stephen Hendry is a disgrace which show what a bunch of lying thieves Betfred are.
Report sickofbookies April 25, 2012 6:05 PM BST
Thanks Angel.

I'm surprised at myself for being surprised that this has happened. I've lost count of the number of times that a bookie either on the high street or online has made a big rik.

Yeah I feel sorry for you EGG.

Again Fred is a shower of shiit...probably the worst of the lot.

one of the advantages of having all your accounts closed is there's no more live chat to endure Grin
Report optic April 25, 2012 6:56 PM BST
Good news bet was settled in the end.  Live chat should be more clued up it would have took few minutes to check result the 'sky sports' link was given by OP.  It sounds like the 'computer says no' situation where the result says 'bet lost' at that's it.
Report Angel Gabrial April 25, 2012 8:13 PM BST
Yes but a VC member of staff has actually gone into the system and altered the result. They have changed the result from Higginson being the winner +1.5 to Stephen Lee 2 days later. There really is no excuse. Whoever has done it wants suspending.

I've got to say the last person I spoke to was very helpful.

It's a shame it took a clueless advisor, followed by their clueless manager telling me that it was a loser and that they were in the right to amend the bet before I actually spoke to someone willing to investigate what I was querying.
