Unauthorised Payments

I recently checked my bank statement and I noticed some unauthorised payments being taken out quite often. Went to Barclays and I was able to get this refunded. As recommended by the bank, i downloaded the APP, so i could keep a closer eye on whats being taken out. One of the unauthorised payments was for £29.99 monthly and i just checked and it started July 2020. I think there is a cut of one £120 days, is there a procedure for me to get my money back. As it's about two years, its nearly £700. I know I should have checked my statements.

Who are these payments to ?
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

SUPERPROF- STUDENT PA, that’s what has been appearing on my statement. Can see it quite clearly on Barclays mobile app.0

The chargeback limit is 120 days yes, but seems like you were signed up for a service, whether intentional or not, you can dispute them but it's a bit strange to only just notice0

I never check my statement, generally leave it to one side.0

Looks like it is an on line tutoring service - ring any bells ?Their payment terms seem to make it difficult to accidentally sign up

Don't leave statements to 1 side.
Looks like a service you've signed up for.2 -
I never signed up to any tutoring services. It has been reported to Barclays fraud team. All payments refunded. Now I’m checking my statements more often.1

That's good news. Also that you're checking your statements. I learned the hard way that putting statements to one side is one way on the road to getting a debt relief order. (Now thankfully all in the past and lesson learned.)garcon6 said:I never signed up to any tutoring services. It has been reported to Barclays fraud team. All payments refunded.

Now I have my banking app on my phone and check my statements twice a week. It's quick and easy to do and I know exactly where my money is at all times. I don't even think that's OTT either.. . .Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts.
