REPORTING ISP FOR THEFT

[Ancalagon]

so why do i have to beg for my own money. they should allow the account holder to stop it immediately and then let the debiter enquire and give reasons why it should not be stopped.

Simple reason is that the company pays the bank more than you do. They know where their bread is buttered.

Imagine if this went to a court of law and you could have the banks tried as accomplices to theft! They are complicit in it, know about it, and benefit from it. Similar to Vodacom/Mtn and WASPS actually.

I'm not saying it's right, just explaining banking practices in the 21st century.

no wonder his nick is WHO THE FAK IS MICHAEL

Well he doesn't really work for them but is usually more prompt in answering questions for them than Reuben.

EDIT: Wish there was a tongue in cheek smiley to use instead of

I dont know. But I'd start with pm'ing the guy mentioned at the top of this page - Reuben@TRLTech.

I'd give him 48 hours to get the money back in my account, and then I'd probably think about seeing a lawyer.

do you call this bank practices where you get raped over and over and the law won't protect you.

Close the account they're debiting which is probably not in your best interests if you have debit orders with other institutions.

If it comes to that you can just inform them of your new banking details.

why do i have to back track to clear my name. i like confrontations and will take on anybody full on. i will NOT close my cheque account because of some twit who feels like he can make and so as he pleases with my own money. the buck stops here. i will hold Standard Bank ransom for any further deductions from my account and report them to the police for not taking action where they have the power to do it.

I got a reply on [email protected], they asked that you mail them the info. Please give feedback on what they do.

Its not your bank (SB) who are at fault, it is the collection agency (whether it be a bank or a private one like Netcash) who are simply processing their client's instruction. You need to try and get hold of the collection agency who is processing the instruction. I use Netcash for my business' debit orders and they are most careful to notify me of any stopped or bounced payments. Have a good moan at them and tell them you will give them bad publicity (eg: Bruce Cameron of The Argus) if they don't get hold of their client and tell him to get his house in order. That is what I would do. SB is bound by banking practice to honour a legitimate request for an account debit, unless there is a stop payment instruction in place.

why are you replying on their behalf. if they know i am here complaining about them they should speak directly to me or call me. i don't have time for cowards who cannot defend for themselves.

If they are ISPA members you could also report the entire ISPA to the police as well. Also the banking ombudsman. Hell you might as well report the president and the whole of parliament for passing legislation which enabled this.

 

[Stevie G]

well, its not a bad idea hey.

 

[Milano]

I am currently with Webafrica. i had no issues with them whatsoever, no billing issues, etc. why can't other companies no matter how big or small have the same business ethics.
sigh..............

Yet. If they ever do, you be sure to report them to the police

 

[Stevie G]

you cannot compare TRL to Webafrica

 

[Guy08]

TRL Technologies are a bunch of thieves. 5 unauthorised deductions in 2 months! Had everything reversed this morning thank goodness. Time to find someone else....
