    But won't the bank still process the payment and send a letter saying they had to process a payment although the account was closed and demand the money from you within a certain amount of time before they pass it on to debt collectors?

    So today my wife decided to put a stop to it and phoned the bank (Natwest) and explained the situation - the customer service guy was very helpful and blocked CE from being able to take any more money.... Result! Well NO because they have managed to take the payment anyway - how? By changing the name of the company taking the money from CE to EXPERIAN


    Now my blood is boiling :mad: - they have purposely used a different company name to "get around" the block and take the payment.
    I very much doubt that they would do this

    As I orginally said - we are not "well off"
    I think we can see why. :) You could have been quite a bit better off though if your wife hadn't chucked away £14.99 per month for so many years. One can only hope you got some value out of it even if wasn't obvious.
