Circuit City Complaint - Gift Card Scam - Unknown Purchases
Unknown Purchases - Complaint
VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA -- These jokers forced me into a gift card by not giving me my money back after I returned a purchase within the time frame they've posted in the store. This I disagreed with from the beginning. I paid cash, I want cash back was my argument. The management would not bent on their position. This was months before the announcement of the closure.
Periodically I would check the balance at a store I may happen to be near once the announcement had been made to ensure my money was still available on this gift card. The money was still there until the day I decided to make a purchase at my local store. 96% of my balance had been used at a store in Virginia Beach on South Independence Blvd. and when I called to verify these purchases, guest what, management told me they could do nothing for me because the store is closing. I filed a police report and still I get nothing from these people even after I showed them that I could not have made a purchase at their Virginia Beach store when I was at work in Augusta Georgia.
The bottom line is, I have no recourse or resources to fight these people anymore. I feel sorry for anyone who has been ripped off by these people. I hope nothing good happens to them for the remainder of their lives until they make it right for these and others.

If you paid cash, they are obligated to give you back cash.
It may be too late for recourse though.

Did you lose the original receipt?

CC and the liquidators stopped accepting gift cards Jan 30. The OP can file a claim in the bankruptcy court but expect to wait until you know what freezes over to collect anything.
