Title: Check your accounts for unauthorised Debits
Post by: Paul erithwc on January 15, 2015, 08:18:43 am

Checked my account this morning to see who had paid their bill to find Admiral had taken £306 from my account for a unauthorised direct debit  >:( >:(

Barclays business refunded and stopped it within 5 min  ;D ;D

Any one else had someone try to setup a direct debit with the account details on your website  ???

Someone s not doing their job right because you have to fill in a mandate and sign it before the bank will authorise it , have you used admiral before if so did you cancel the agreement with them

This is why I don't have my bank details on the website.

Not much anyone can do with them, except set up a direct debit.

If that's really what they have done then it's a criminal matter and should be reported to the Police.
