Hello and thank you for the welcome to this forum.
Could anyone please advise as to the following, which may be of interest to others?
In a recent discussion at my place of work, it was suggested that there are more than one type of Direct Debit. Can anyone confirm this please?
It was suggested that the consumer ( when agreeing to a DD ) may not be aware that there are more than one type and may not know which they are agreeing to.
The inference was that the other type ( if it exists ) is more onerous to the consumer, who only becomes aware of this when problems arise, such as the company or service provider suddenly and without warning, changing dates or amounts or when the consumer attempts to cancel the agreement.
I notice on this forum, other posts, where people have cancelled such agreements in the accepted manner, only to have the debits pop up again, having been reinstated by the company/service provider without recourse to the consumer and apparently, with the full co-operation of the consumers bank or Building Society.
Sorry for the long post but would welcome any input on this question.
Many thanks Petel
