You don't remember having taken out a subscription? Maybe you just filled in your card as part of a trial offer? Or to pay for the postage of a so-called 'gift' that you have 'won'?

It may happen that subscriptions linked to GR8BOOKZ direct debits are not desired by Internet users: you should know that attractive trial offers often lead to subscriptions if no steps are taken to cancel the subscription.

They can even help you get a refund when possible (be careful, refunds are unfortunately not systematic, because they are really on a case-by-case basis.

2. When possible, I stop the costs! helps you obtain a reimbursement of all or part of the sums withdrawn (note, this is not systematic because each case is unique. When a reimbursement is possible, the professional who follows your file indicates it to you and initiates the procedures for you in addition to the termination procedures)

4/4 Blocking your card to stop direct debits GR8BOOKZ: what does the bank think?

What the law says ? : in March 2018, the court of cassation accepted the culpable negligence of a customer who had transmitted his bank details to a fraudulent site. The bank had opposed his requests for reimbursement, accusing him of negligence in the custody and conservation of his personal data of the security system of payment instruments.

 

This court decision explains why a banker may refuse to block your card if you are the originator of the purchase.

If you are still in possession of your bank card, it is very unlikely that it is a card hack as explained above: blocking the card would therefore amount to not honoring a contract for which you signed up. We therefore do not recommend blocking your credit card but carrying out the online procedures to cancel the current subscription.

Fraud point: of course, if your card has actually been stolen from you and you are not the originator of the purchase, it is a card hack. In this case, do not hesitate to go and file a complaint. In some cases, you will also be able to open a fraud file with your banker to try toget a refund : this point is to be seen directly with your bank or your card issuer (Visa, Mastercard…).
