I have told many many people - neve...I'm so sorry. I have told many many people - never ever put any bill on a scheduled direct withdrawal from your bank... for just this reason. <BR/><BR/>If you have any other bills on direct withdrawal, I strongly suggest that you stop the process and then close that account and open another! It can be the same bank - but the number must be different so no business is authorized to take out money monthly or (as in this case) take your money without you knowing it. <BR/><BR/>I guess I'd be emailing any lawyer acquaintances of mine (on the blogosphere of course) and seeing if I had any recourse. Otherwise, I'd be on the phone to the State's Attorney to see what they say about the legality of this move. <BR/><BR/>*sigh* <BR/><BR/>Protect your money! Never let anyone do a scheduled withdrawal. If you possibly can, put your monthly bills online onto a credit card and then pay the credit card off each month with a single time authorized payment. That is much better because any payment you don't authorize that goes to a credit card can be disputed through the credit card company. (but always pay it off so you don't have to pay interest!)Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943982798071884004noreply@blogger.com
