Hi there

Been on my online banking tonight to check the DDS for month end payday and noticed a DD had been set up for a company called Premium Finance. Phoned my bank who were relatively useless and said they were not able to tell me how this company had set up a DD on our account.

We have never used this company and dont owe any money on sofas etc which is apparently their main business. We have a few debts which are in a DMP.

Am wholly disgusted that they have access to our bank account and want to know how they got it. We bought a sofa from SCS 6 years ago and paid it off in full about two years ago with no problems so I dont think it can be anything rto do with that.

Anyone else heard of these people ? I was given an 0871 number to call and a name but dont really see why I should pay to phone up and ask why they have my bank details !

Fuming !

    I have no idea how to stop companies doing this, in order to do it you should have signed a direct debit form with them, although I know my credit card company was able to do it without one, somehow...
