During the past few months I closed accounts with two service providers. One company continued to take direct debits for two months after the account was closed; the other company over-charged on the last bill and this showed as a credit. Today I requested a refund and was told that they would credit my bank account within the next 10 days (even though I stopped using their service three months ago). With all the recent fuss around data protection I'm just wondering how long are service providers allowed to keep bank account details on file when an account is closed? TIA
