If you shopped at Wal-Mart last week might want to check your cc statement.

800,000 Cards Overcharged at Wal-Marts

DENVER - A computer hardware problem caused more than 800,000 credit and debit card transactions to be double- or triple-billed last week at Wal-Mart stores nationwide, according to officials at First Data Corp., which handled the electronic payments.

The excess Visa and Mastercard charges, which occurred Wednesday and were posted on Thursday, have been reversed, First Data spokeswoman Staci Busby said Sunday.

Busby said the problem showed up on reports the company generates for quality control purposes. She said it's unclear how many customers were affected, and that she had no other details about the hardware problem.

"Anyone who conducted a transaction with a Visa or Mastercard on March 31 should check their statements," Busby said.
Busby said some affected customers may not see the reversed charges on their accounts until Tuesday. She said First Data has instituted additional measures as a result of the overbilling.

that's a lot of fucking up. Even if all the orders were only $1 each, that's 1.6 million extra.

Not just Walmart. What about First Data corporation?

Credit, Debit Cards May Have Overbilled in Triplicate!

By KYW's John McDevitt
Check your credit card statements. If you used a charge or debt card last Wednesday, you could have been billed up to three times.

Officials at an electronic payments processing company, First Data corporation, say a computer hardware problem caused more than 800-thousand credit and debit card users to be doubled billed and in some cases triple billed. The transactions took place in stores nationwide including Walmart.

Stacy Busby is the Denver-based companies spokeswoman:

"It will probably show up on their April first statement and then those charges should be reversed out so they would only have one bill to charge. And we want people to check and make sure that those are reversed out on their statements to make sure they are not getting over charged for anything."

Busby says the reversals may not show up until Tuesday. For more information, you can call toll free hotline at 888-893-0626.

Busby says "First Data" experienced a computer hardware problem that effected Mastercard and Visa transactions at Wal-Mart and a few other merchant locations. In some of these incidents the problem resulted in triplicate postings to consumer's debit and credit card accounts.

Check your credit card bills.
