They should but the financial whatsityacallums need to clarify this issue as a matte rof urgency, I know someone who changed card number twice (same provider) AND cancelled the dd thing by leaving a note on file saying he would not pay it but it went thru again and there was an awful palaver about itSeagull said:At what stage was the credit card company aware of the issue? If they knew about it when you changed cards, they should have removed any recurring direct debit on the card.
I'm guessing (but I'm open to correction) that the root cause of these problems is that the billing party does not need explicit advance permission to hit your account with a DD. Hitting you with a DD charge is probably no different than hitting your account with a restaurant bill or a shopping bill. No prior notice is needed. The DD form is only checked if there is a query.etel said:They should but the financial whatsityacallums need to clarify this issue as a matte rof urgency, I know someone who changed card number twice (same provider) AND cancelled the dd thing by leaving a note on file saying he would not pay it but it went thru again and there was an awful palaver about it
there must be a way to cancel these damn credit card DDs in a straightforward manner.
The hotel charge is most certainly NOT legit, unless the risk of getting room bills charged to your CC account was made clear in the T&C's of the function room booking.Danmo said:Actually - the hotel charge probably was legit - they lost out on selling a room and the family member may have used your name/function name when making the booking otherwise the hotel would have asked for THEIR cc number to secure booking. I would get the money back off said family member tho.......you need to tackle the root of this problem which are the relatives that are being so unfair to you.....(to be polite)

But only the CC holder would have the rights to do this. It would be up to the hotel to check the bona fides of any CC used to secure accomadation. If they can't be bothered then they are liable.Danmo said:It's normal hotel policy to ask for a cc number when booking a hotel and charge for a no-show. All I am saying that is that the relative could have inferred that the cc number that was being held for the function would cover the room as well.
