Re: Illegally taking funds ...again?!?
Ummmm, I don't know the whole story. But how did they get your bank account information anyhow? I always send them a check. I don't trust them either. |

They could get his account information from his check.
They have to be able to prove that they have authorization to do this. If they can't then he should verify that his online banking isn't set up to kick out a payment every month.
Keep in mind that sending paper checks these days is foolish. The less people who can see your account number the better. At least online transactions are encrypted. |

Equal or better chance it's a checkfree problem... good place to start.
Meeble - you are 100% correct. Most people do not have the stomach for the work involved to do this, for the minimal payback. The cost in time and effort always needs to be balanced against real value. That said, sometimes it is worth it... if there is even a case to be brought. Many people want to sue when they don't have grounds for it.
If it "continued" to happen, as a next step I would suggest involving someone like Tom Martino, a consumer advocate who lives for this kind of stuff, particularly at the level where it's extremely irritating but not high profile enough to get most peoples attention. |
