    Can I get a refund if I dont have a receipt?

    I went shopping at coles the other night and purchased a few items. I only bought some cheese (just cheapo coles brand cheese), cheapo coles brand toothpaste, 3 bananas, small packet of bacon, cheapo coles brand crumpets, gingerbread cookie, and maybe one or two other small things like a bottle of milk or something. I paid on my debit card and it was $27-something in total.

    I've looked at my bank statement today and they have taken $81 out of bank account!! I definately didnt buy $81 worth of things so I have no idea what happened. I dont have my reciept , I have looked for it but cant find it. I think hubby has thrown it in the bin because I always keep the receipt in case I need to take something back.

    This has totally killed my budget for the week, and $50 is heaps of money for us. Do you think Coles would give me a refund if I went in and explained the problem? Has anyone successfully gotten a refund like this, without a receipt?

    I think you need to call the store and see what has happened.

    Also call your bank and find out what the process is.

    Did you get cash out at the same time?? That's thrown me out a couple of times Otherwise I would get your bank statement, and try and remember which checkout you used and what time - that way they can go back through their systems.

    Surely the till wouldn't add up at the end of the night?

    Call the store straight away.

    No I didnt get any cash out. I never get cash out. I did check the docket before I signed, it was $27, and some amount of cents that I dont remember. I have a debit card, I do not do eftpos as I get charged for the transaction, so it gets put through as a "credit" transaction and I sign the docket like you would with a credit card.
    I know which register I went to, and I would be able to describe the guy that served me, and I know the time and date I was there. Maybe if I give them a call they might be able to tell me if they can do anything.

    sunflowa_girlie: can they actually go back and check their computer for the transaction, if I know the time, date, register etc??
