Apple Begins Refunding Lion Overcharges

I hope Apple ended up giving that guy lion for free.

The fella got his money back, he deserves no more than that. The faster the world learns that suing and seeking damages is not the only solution to their problems, the better!

When you mess with somebody's mortgage payment, they deserve more than there money back. This can create credit problems... I'm usually with those thinking that suing has gone overboard but in this situation, it may merit legal action.

Yes but it was his fault also. Credit card!, Credit card!, Credit card!

What if you choose not to have a credit card?

how about some personal responsibilty. yes it wasn't his fault but you shouldn't link a debit card for things like this. this is exactly what credit cards are for. if you do a dispute it doesn't tie up all your bank account funds.

I fully agree with the "personal responsibility". It was Apple's fault to take the extra money, so they must take responsibility and put it all right.

The only entity at fault is Apple. PayPal is a payment processor that does what Apple asks. The consumer was consuming. The bank allowed the payment processor to do what it does. Apple caused this.

You guys are saying that if he had used a credit card, there would have been more of a dispute process, but there is no dispute, this was Apple's system going haywire in a once-in-a-lifetime fluke. If you wanna blame someone for the speed at which banks work, blame the banks' EFT/ACH system. But Apple still screwed people regardless of what above-and-beyond precautions the consumer didn't take.

And I GUARANTEE that the $4k guy could get something more from Apple if he complained even just a little.

yes but if he used a credit card he would still have his money to pay his morgage while the banks/apple figure it. so silly people can not grasp that.
these things happen all the time maybe not to this extent but they happen.

It's so silly that people cannot grasp the fact that this should not have happened in the first place.

Why? Because the individual in question cannot properly manage his money financially.
Let's be serious, what type of responsible person doesn't have a six month cushion saved before buying a house? If a $4k overdraft overextends someone to the extent that they can't pay their mortgage, maybe they shouldn't be committing to purchasing a house in the first place? And, maybe they shouldn't be spending $30 on an operating system upgrade if they don't have that cushion.
What happened to personal fiscal responsibility?

Really? You're judging someone because they don't have 6 months saved? You're pretty daft if you think this man is in any way at fault for APPLE charging his account 120 times.

God forbid he try and spend $30..... wow what a moron.`

Thats ridiculous.

In no way is this the consumers fault.

So we should all register on the App Store with £4000 spare credit on our cards in case Apple decides to overcharge us?

Are you broken?

He will be glad to get his 4k back, thats for sure

Why does it take a minimum 3 - 5 business days to refund monies? This occurs with most companies/banks/CC. Yet, charge something and it shows up on the statement within 24 hours. Am I missing something here, or is this just one more way the Banks fuxk us over????
