Even after my car was delivered 5 days late, in good condition, I was happy. 5 MONTHS LATER my bank account was charged $199.00, even though I paid them in full at time of delivery. After trying to contact Castle Luxury many times and spent over 1 1/2 hours on hold, when I finally was able to speak to someone,they informed me that there was a glitch in their system and they promised to credit my account the money they had ACCIDENTALLY debited from it. It took them 14 days to amend THEIR mistake. Meanwhile, I had paid several bills from my account according to the funds I had available to me at the time. Turns out that I had to pay $68.00 in insufficient fund fees from my bank and a $25.00 returned check fee ( which I have proof of). When I spoke to the representative at Castle Luxury regarding this, they assured me that a manager would contact me. I have never received a call from them. They say this was a glitch, but now I truly think that if I wouldn't have caught this myself that they would not have contacted me or credited my account on their own...as they have not made good on Their Mistake thus far!It's been over a month and a half. I plan on contacting the Better Business Bureau on this company.....not my fault that they caused me undue financial distress that they refuse to take care of. I do not recommend this company! Be very careful.

Ms. Bodie, Again we apologize for the situation. As we explained to you it was a mistake on our merchant's behalf. A merchant we chose to no longer work with, for this very same issue. As we also explained to you it was not us who "ACCIDENTALLY" charged your card. As the merchant was updating their server, a batch of 3 credit cards was set on re-occurring billing due to a glitch in an algo-rythem. The money was refunded, as you also know. It took 14 business days, even though the charge was reversed instantly, as it does take time to go from our account, to our merchant, through your banking institution, and back into your account. We record all phone calls for quality assurance, and have reviewed our call logs on our main phone and have not seen any number associated to your account as being placed on hold for more then 10 minutes. We do apologize for any hold time, but we do experience heavy call volumes on certain days and at certain time periods, but we do get back to all of our customers. *****For anyone reading this review, we have completely changed merchants, we do not keep customer's credit card information stored in any system once your initial payment is processed. This was an EXCEPTION and not a common issue. We also did not pay Ms. Bodie for this review, as we do not pay customers for good reviews, especially for Bad reviews!*****
