Maybe im wrong but i thought jonesMUFCforever was refering to the topic has already been covered

That's precisely what he was referring to and I was too. It's covered constantly. 3,265 times might be a exaggeration, but only a small one!

Today (Sunday 27th June) my bank has taken a banking fee for my account yet dated it Monday 28th June. Is this legal???

No.

It is a totally illegal act and they should clearly be prosecuted for it.

I'd suggest dialling 999 to ensure that you get emergency attention. Or if you're a freemason bring the subject up at the next lodge meeting. I'm sure it will be quickly followed up.

The money was not just earmarked, it was taken. It is even dated the 28th on my online account.??

So they've as-dated the transaction to the date it was meant to go out.

Seriously, it's normal, it's legal and it's fair.

Its just showing because it was an auto payment. It will be treated as if it left Monday as it did.

Natwest do it all the time, i had about 5 DD due today and yes all the money had left my account on Saturday, but online banking had Mondays date next to them all.

Just something you get used too, works both ways though, if i am due to paid on a Monday as i am paid monthly, its available on the Saturday before.

When I worked for Natwest I used to hate working Saturdays for this sole reason. People ringing up asking about it and then accusing me of "stealing their money"

Your bank updates overnight to reflect the next working day. The next working day after a Friday is a Monday, therefore any credits/debits due on the Monday will show over the weekend.

When I worked for NWB, I used to explain it as the computer system didn't recognise weekends and thought it was Monday lol.

it also works te other way ie if credits are due on monday you can draw them on saturday and they have mondays date on them.
