    I tried to use my card at lunch today and it was declined, so I checked on my banking app and the extra payment was taken back out of my account again today leaving me overdrawn.

    This is very surprising and I am so pleased that you have brought this to our attention so others don't get caught out.

    This will be your bank and not your employer but I really didn't think that banks could do this without asking you or even notifying you. But then again history tells us that banks can do anything they want!

    PS I certainly hope you do not end up paying any overdraft fees or interest as a result.

    I rang my bank and they have told me that it wasn't their error.

    I called the bank to check all is ok and I won't be charged a fine - they said this happened due to a system error

    So it wasn't the bank's error it was a system error:rotfl:
