We had similar happen in December last year - but in person, at a Little
Chef (roadside cafe chain). I thought they had put the card through
twice at the time, but wasn't certain. Then, in February, the amount
showed up on our statement (usually these things go through in a week at
most) - and then three weeks later the same amount appeared on our
statement.  I keep close watch on the account, so when the second
transaction appeared I phoned the *bank* straight away and told them
what had happened. They said they would investigate, and write to me
with the outcome - which they did - they agreed the second payment was a
duplicate and refunded it to our account. The Little Chef then had 60
days to prove that the request for payment was genuine, in which case we
would have had to pay the amount, but obviously they were not able to do
so.

In general, if your bank is on your side, they have much more clout than
you do!
