MCDONALD'S customers have blasted the fast-food chain after being charged for meals months later.<\/p>\n

One punter saw \u00a3155 taken out of her account for transactions made earlier this year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Alexis Johnson, 42, was among those affected. <\/p>\n

She was stunned when she saw her bank account show a negative balance having been charged \u00a334.54 by McDonald's last Thursday.<\/p>\n

Mum-of-three Alexis initially thought she was the victim of fraud – only to discover it was for an order she had made for her family on June 2 which included Big Macs and Happy Meals.<\/p>\n

Her painter husband Ricky, 42, had also been charged \u00a350 for multiple transactions made in May and June.<\/p>\n

HR operations manager Alexis, from Rainham, Essex, said: "At first we thought we might've been the victims of fraud.<\/p>\n

"My bank account was in negative balance and I was shocked.<\/p>\n

"I thought I'd been charged at the time, as other people would have, so it's really poor from McDonald's. Being charged months later can have a bad impact on people who are hard-up."<\/p>\n

Alexis made the purchase at a McDonald's in Dagenham, East London – as did Nicole Jackson, who says she was charged \u00a3155.<\/p>\n

She fumed online: "I've had \u00a3155 taken. It's absolutely disgusting."<\/p>\n

McDonald's said: \u201cUnfortunately there was a fault with one of the card readers in our Dagenham restaurant between 26th April and 19th June that meant customers using that card reader were not charged at the time.<\/p>\n

"We have been processing these payments over the last two weeks, and would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused as a result of this payments failure.<\/p>\n

"We\u2019d encourage anyone with any concerns or questions to please contact our customer services team.\u201d<\/p>\n
