i have someone looking into it now.its someone who works in one of the top banks so will let you know the outcome.at least there is one way of looking at this is we have up to a year to sort it out and doubt if we could get our money back.i thing its a charity or something.hope nothing more more than that eeeek
-- answer removed --
am i being mean but i think that �60 a month to a charity is a lot of money, but on saying that, if its the same amount each year i would think that it would have to be something along those lines as everything goes up each year, its interesting please keep us informed. its awful that the bank wont help isnt it
Question Author
its �60 yearly.i will keep all posted
Question Author
actual amount is �59.50 yearly which works out i think at �1.14 weekly or �4.95 monthly
Cancel the thing. It surely cannot be so important that he still needs it if he cannot remember who he is paying? It could be something as daft as an annual payment to an internet site he no longer uses. Some of them use a subscription method via e.g. Paypal. Please keep us posted as I'm dying to know who the payment is being made to!
Well for �60 a year, it wont be for a mistress. : - )
have you found out yet?
Two weeks and 29 responses later i wondered whether this had been resolved- lots of us would love to know what the outcome was
I guess encee isn't going to tell us

Was this ever resolved- did encee find out what the direct debit was for?

hello sorry havent been back to all of you but guess hubbys broken leg is giving us more to think about at the moment and the next payment wont be coming out till june next year. we are puuting on hold but we will keep you informed.promise.sorry but hubby is really down at the moment and i am treading on eggshells with all that i am saying to him.bless him he is going thru hell he broke his leg in feb and not healing very quickly and giving up smoking is not helping him at the mo.he does look a lot healthier though.sorry to keep going on but i feel better now that i've had a whinge.promise will let you know the outcome of the payments.
Let's hope the annual direct debit was for an accident insurance policy!

maybe.am trying to convince him to write to the bank to giive permission to look into what it is.can but try?
whats the saying..you can lead a horse to water but you can't make em drink it.
I hope hubby isn't trying to hide something but don't force the info out of him, he needs his space. I'll put it in my diary to ask you in June 2009 should I?
Question Author
answer still not resolved as hubby now been referred to another hospital for a second opinion.a day b4 the op??
he still insists.their is no hurry to sort it.
i think what i will do is type the letter for him to send to the bank to give permission for them to contact the other bank but thanks for the interest???????
i don't mean to ignore you all its just well... men are stubborn.bless
