    Default What would you do?

    Next September I have a wedding. I met the couple beforehand and they agreed to go ahead.

    My prices next year are £349.

    I issued them with a booking pack which stated £402.50. By mistake I had charged them the same as a couple next December.

    They sent me a deposit, signed the pack and not grumbled.

    Would you tell them the pricing is wrong or leave it as it is?

    I've all ready made my mind up and I'll tell you at the end of the thread.

    I'd contact them stating I'd made a mistake, apologise and send out paperwork with the correct originally quoted price.

    Never mind Karma - it's the only honest thing to do.

    Well as you've now published the fact on the internet I'd definitely let them know

    In fact I'd do that anyway as I feel it's the right thing to do.

    I'm surprised you've had to ask this tbh, the OP basically says "Shall I just rob them as it seems they haven't noticed I've overcharged them by £52.50"

    Err, Vectis, you may be smart at some things, but you're useless at Geography. Charlie lives in the affluent South, that's why he charges so much.

    Charlie, refund time.

    Last night I was checking through my forms to see who hadn't returned them & one of them was the couple in question.

    I noticed the mistake I'd made and rang them straight away (thinking I'd put them off, which is why they hadn't returned the form)

    I left a voice mail explaining the error I had made at about 6.00pm.

    The form arrived this morning.

    Ah ! I think I get it, you were just seeing if any other forum members would be dishonest and overcharge the couple?
