Jean Valjean –
Very disappointed. I made a payment that was refused because I couldn’t enter the SMS code. And guess what. Funds weren’t refunded to my account and I am fighting since once week to have my money back.
At first they said I have to wait some days, I waited more than one week but nothing happens.
Second time they told me that my funds were effectively paid to the receiver. So I write to him and he provides me document proof that he doesn’t get the funds and that the payment was refused.
Third time Neon told me that they aren’t sure that they could refund me because there’s an information (that is totally useless) that is missing for them on the documents to refund me !
A real mess !! Never go to neon. I recommend you Cler Zak which is a real bank with real qualification. And they aren’t talking to you like you are a child (what neon is doing !).
Never ever again !
