Re: Charge on credit card without consent

Some time after I reached back home in the USA, I got an email
from the rental company saying the following ...
The rental car company:
1. "processed" the citation, which means they sent the parking
lot operator my information, and the citation to me by email.
2. they did *not* pay the fine. They explicitly told me that I
will be paying the fine separately.
3. they went ahead and charged my credit card 35 pounds per
ticket for processing - without getting my consent beforehand.
Next, the hotel administrator canceled the two citations - they
were issued by mistake ...
.....may I posit that the Man on the Clapham Omnibus(it would
broaden my knowledge if the OP could give us a US equivalent!)
would simply write to the hire company and ask for their money
back?

If the hirer wanted to use that argument (if the chargeback is
declined) they would almost certainly be the one having to do
the suing though!

The chargeback is unlikely to be declined. It's a voluntary
process by card issuers and acquirers with limited scope for
refusal, though what US rules are in place by this particular
issuesr will determine whether it is allowed or not.
An issue is whether it gets re-debited somewhere down the line
when (if) enterprise say "No, we maintain it was a valid
charge".
With a chargeback the issuer is a go between.

Hi all, thank you all for your time and help.
I wrote the car rental company an email requesting a refund for
the 70 pounds and awaiting their reply.

... seems to me that the American term is a "reasonable person"
.... and I believe I am such a man .... :-)
Thank you again, and I shall update with the outcome.
