Closed petition Make it law that ANY refunds from now on must be INSTANT.

Closed on

We the people would like our government to enshrine into law that ALL refunds from now on be instantaneous. When we pay for goods or services this is done INSTANTLY, yet when we ask for a refund from any company, we have to wait days and in some cases WEEKS. This is not on in this day and age.

Because the government are the ONLY people who can enact the will of the people, if we pay instantly why can we not get refunds instantly too. This would put more trust in companies and financial institutions, and give people more choice in a fast moving worls. For example, someone buys a top or computer part and finds that the top does not fit or the part is faulty or wrong. When they take them back and get a refund - they have to wait DAYS. This blocks them from buying another top or PC part.
