Kelly Hopper. you say you are perplexed as to how monies have been moved from bank accounts without the account holders consent.
I had monies removed from my bank account by a major company British Gas. They set up a direct debit without my consent .
I was livid as you can imagine. unfortunatly it was 3 months before I noticed.
This was recently nov,dec and jan. I am not a customer of theirs and have been not been for some 18 months.
When I went to see the bank (after many hours of musical interludes from BG) they explained that with major companies (utilities companies, mobile phone companies etc) it is done on a matter of trust. So if British Gas set up a direct debit with, them bank assumes you are a customer of theirs
However The bank got me to fill in a form , the bank refunded me the money then in turn they argue with the company that made this faux par.
So yes monies can be removed from your account by almost anyone it may seem.
It is even easier for an employer to do it .
Just because something is illeagle does not mean that people will not do it, but it must be put right.
And before anyone asks I was very tempted to march into the cop shop and report it as theft!
I was extremly angry to find out this was even possible let alone for it to happen to me.
These employees are not lying about what has happened to them. It has happened. They have proof.
It is a very upsetting situatuin for all employees within the group.
Hopefully there is some way back from this almighty mess
