I am currently challenging a charge that is being made by a company regarding a booking that was made over the internet.

I genuinely believe that their terms and conditions page has been 'updated' in the last 48hrs to include a new paragraph that was not there when I made my booking.

Is there any way for me to find out if the page has been modified recently? They obviously deny that it has. I have tried viewing 'properties but that says create & modified date is not available.

thanks in advance

Google their name, then click on 'Cached' by the result.

The google cache won't last for ever so make sure you save a copy now.

Edit: Use www.webcitation.org to save a copy now that they can't challenge.

I had this happen to me, my solicitor told me companies can change T&C's when they like!

But surely the T&Cs which were in place at the time of the transaction would apply, not those sneakily put in place at a later date.

Absolutely right. Which is why they will be having a word with trading standards if we dont get our money back!
