Massive Debit Order I did not authorize - Nedbank

[flippakitten]

Hey all,

Wondering if anyone else has had something like this before.
I wake up this morning and see a R10k pending debit on my account which I have no idea where it came from.

I tried calling Nedbank and they can tell me jack, lodged a complaint etc...
They say I must wait and call back tomorrow, like hell!

Anyone have some advice on who/where to go to.

Cheers,

SARS maybe?

Lol, that was my first guess, called them and all good there.

I don't think SARS collects via debit order.

OK nm, I think I found it by going back through yesterday's payments, I see that Nedbank have lumped all my business payments for yesterday into one amount, just to make sure I'm awake this morning.

Yeesh, glad it was real payments you made. Can't believe they couldn't help you figure that out on the phone though.

They do. According to law they can take out of your account without any notification.

Wouldn't call it a debit order, more like here bank take this court order and transfer money for us.

Probably only if you haven't paid for some years and they have tried to get the money from you.

They do not need a court order.

Actually not. They can take it anytime money is owed to them.

Correct if you signed the authorization form
