This bloke went and set up DD on my account without even asking me first. Honestly, feeling proper annoyed about it.

My bank sent me a letter saying they refused a direct debit to Sockable.co.uk because I’d gone over my overdraft. Thing is, I never agreed to any direct debit with them since I can’t really afford it right now. When I called the bank, they gave me the phone number 01242269790 as the point of contact for this direct debit. I’ve since had the direct debit cancelled through the bank. It’s baffling how this company even got hold of my banking info.

I found a monthly direct debit of £9.99 taken from my bank, listed under buyvia.co.uk. The bank provided me with a contact number to sort it but no one picked up when I called. After that, I reported it as fraud, and thankfully, the bank is refunding the charge. Just a warning, they seem to be using various business names and putting direct debits through on accounts without clear consent. Also, the phone number to call might be a costly premium line, so watch out before phoning.

Just like others mentioned, this call popped outta nowhere trying to get a DS set up, total rubbish if you ask me.

The company calling itself We Do Savings arranged a direct debit from my account without asking me first. I phoned Barclays straight away and they refunded the money back into my account. They also made sure that this firm won’t be able to take any payments again.

My mum just found out that £21.99 was taken twice from her bank without her sharing any info. It was from some firm called Guaranteed Telecom and they used this number, which turns out is a premium one. Like others have said, it’s obviously a scam.

I just spotted a direct debit on my bank account for £14.99 every month that I had no clue about. When I contacted TSB, the lady there gave me a phone number to ring and sort it out. As soon as I called, the woman who answered sounded really stressed when I asked why the direct debit had even been set up. She insisted the bank shouldn’t have handed me her number. The company name linked to the direct debit is Social Report UK. She gave me the number 0161 226 9790, then just hung up on me. I called that number back and got told to press 1 for a callback, but I was fifth in line and after an hour I’m still waiting. TSB assured me the money taken will be refunded by the end of tomorrow, but they’ve recommended I shut this current account and open a new one just to be safe.

I just noticed £37 was taken from my bank, and it says it’s from Big150 Group on my statement. I didn’t buy or order anything, so I’m really confused about who this company is and why they took my money. Anyone knows what’s going on here?
