Default i hate credit cards

so i was tryin to order a CF rear lip spoiler from my boy ed, and I managed to f@^# up on the bill to and ship to address twice. Order didn't wanna go through cuz of Bill to and Ship to issues. So I finally get it straight and go to place the order and then i get -Declined_. Im like wtf, i have more then enough for this, so I hop online onto my account and find two holds for the previous orders which have not gone through. So now, here I am with like 22 bucks on my account because of bogus holds. I'm not getting charged for it but apparently it takes like 2-3 days to get the holds off. This freakin blows. If the holds are still there tomorrow I'm gonna call my CC and complain. Anyone ever have something like this happen to them?

You either have more charges "pending" than you have credit, or it's a fraud protection process because of the two previous screw-ups. I don't mean to be harsh, but you really should be more careful how you fill in the information. This wouldn't have happened.

its not that. I know how much money I have on my account and I know what I bought. But if I try to buy something, and it claims to have not gone through(Guy i bought it from said it didn't go through either) It shouldn't show up as a hold. I called up the CC today and I either gotta wait until the 21st for the holds to time out, or i gotta get the company to call the CC and tell them to take the holds off. So stupid.

Just wait till you use your credit card, then forget to make a payment because of a hectic month and they demolish your credit for it. THEN you'll feel ____ed off at the company. Right now their just going through the normal motions for this situation.

Credit cards are the enemy anyway, never buy something on credit unless you plan to pay it back within that month.

I knew a kid who got the hiv in the same situation.

Come to think of it, he ordered grills from VRD's site. Careful out there.
