Wonga keep taking payments

Is it true that the bank can't stop Wonga taking debit card payments from an account with a zero balance?

Or are Santander just b*ll sh*ting?

Even the debit card was blocked and replaced but they still say they can't stop them from taking small amounts in drips and drapes.

    Absolutely correct. See saltnvinegar's excellent thread on paydayloans.

    Day to day bankings had already been switched to another bank hence the Santander account having a zero balance. But Santander were still authorising £5 a pop transactions to Wonga.

    Account closed today so that should be the end of it.
