Click to pay not fit for purpose
Visa are currently having a drive to trick people into signing up for their “click to pay” nightmare. Beware the innocuous sounding: “I consent to share my details with Visa”.., sure you think, Visa already have my details, but that’s not what they mean, click ‘Yes’ and you’ll be in click to pay. Yet more emails and contracts, more relationship marketing, and they’ll doubtless be hacked, and crooks will have your online card details in no time at all. I got tricked into it, and needless to say the Visa website makes it impossible for me to opt out again. There’s a page for it, but it doesn’t work. What a surprise. This is what enshitification is all about.

totally fraudulent scammers
totally fraudulent work with scam companies who provide falsified deliveries and steal (Hoover Tumble Dryer) then accept a blatantly doctored and falsified photo blascking out road lines and street of it sat on couriers van tailgate and accept this as a room of choice. couriers drive away with damaged item then flasify as being delivered when it was rejected due to damage! Now after months of stress bank tells me Visa scammers took back 535gbp to gift to appliances direct and their thieving partner couriers. Not only did they wqork hand in hand with the appliances direct scammers they even took back the original refunded premium £35 for next day delivery… considering it took THREE to deliver an unusable wrecked machine and a further week to take the sh*t away again. They drove off with the second unit as I refused it for being in even worse state of damage. But dodgy drivers at ARROW and App dir worke together to defraud by blacking out the photos view of the roadside lines lowering the quality so the metal lift to luton van resembled grey bare floor boards then filled in as delivered to room of choice.Rang within minutes to complain App Dir REFUSED to investigate or contact Arrowother than email stating fifteen days to investigate. Plenty of time to move the stolen goods. Lloyds bank say they have no control over VISA nor will they pursue action agaisnt mass fraud theft from disabled victims

Complete and utter chaos!
I tried to make an online payment with my Visa debit card and was asked for verification via a text message which after waiting for 10 minutes, never arrived. I requested another and the same thing happened. The website stated that if you don’t receive a text message to try another way- in my case phoning my bank – Lloyds -which I did – only to be put through to the fraud department! WHY?? It wasn’t my fault the text messages didn’t arrive! There was enough money in my account for the payment I tried to make. I was forced to answer so many questions and treated like a criminal ,and then made to wait again while they verified everything and removed the “block.” It was absolutely insulting! To add insult to injury they even gave me the WRONG number for this company!

I’m totally fed up of the problems that I’m having using my Visa Debit card when shopping online. There is plenty of money in my bank account, but online payments to some businesses will not go through. My bank says the problem is not with the bank but the business, and the business state the fault is with my bank.
I’ve just tried chatting online with Visa.co.uk (lady in the chat box was called Rose) to see if they can suggest how I can resolve this problem, but Visa themselves say they can’t and I have to contact my bank……..which obviously I can’t until Monday. Visa were so so very rude that the online chat was disconnected before I had finished chatting……I was in the middle of typing a question when I was so rudely disconnected!
I’ve had enough of problems with my Visa Debit card payments authentication not going through
Below are the analyze and conclusion of us about above reviews
The initial introductory text “Welcome to Visa UK, home to our campaigns” provides very little information for assessing credibility. It’s a standard marketing statement and doesn’t offer any insights into the legitimacy of the company or its services. It’s neutral in nature.
Review 1 (IXUS): This review expresses strong dissatisfaction with Visa’s “click to pay” feature. The reviewer claims they were tricked into signing up and now can’t opt out. They raise concerns about security vulnerabilities and potential hacking. The language used (“nightmare,” “tricked,” “enshitification”) suggests a highly negative experience. The specific details about the opt-out page not working add to the credibility of the complaint. This review indicates a potentially problematic feature or user experience on the Visa website.
Review 2 (Bryn Dornan (homey64)): This review is extremely negative, alleging fraudulent activity involving Visa, Appliances Direct, and a courier company. The reviewer claims they received a damaged appliance, the delivery was falsified, and Visa sided with the scam companies by reversing a refund. The review is filled with strong accusations (“totally fraudulent scammers,” “steal,” “thieving”). The level of detail, including specific amounts of money and company names (Arrow couriers, Appliances Direct, Lloyds bank), suggests a real, albeit potentially exaggerated, incident. The reviewer accuses Visa of actively participating in a fraud, which is a very serious claim. It is possible the reviewer is angry and exaggerating the role that VISA played, but the level of detail warrants caution.
Review 3 (janebloggs): This review describes a frustrating experience with Visa’s online payment verification process. The reviewer states that they didn’t receive the verification text message and were subsequently treated like a criminal by their bank (Lloyds). While the core issue might stem from the bank’s security protocols, the reviewer blames Visa for the initial problem of the text message not arriving. The tone is one of annoyance and frustration. The review indicates a potential flaw in Visa’s verification system that can lead to inconvenience and suspicion for legitimate users.
Review 4 (Scooby Doodle): This review highlights a recurring problem with Visa Debit card payments not going through online. The reviewer claims that both their bank and businesses are blaming each other, leaving them in a difficult position. They also mention a negative experience with Visa’s online chat support, where they were allegedly disconnected rudely. The frustration and feeling of being stuck between the bank and Visa are palpable. The review points to a possible systemic issue with Visa Debit card transactions and a lack of helpful support from Visa.
visa.co.uk likely legit, but with potential service issues
