Employer taking money from your bank account
Discussion
Mrs G was in conversation with a friend tonight who has just left the firm she works for.
I wasn't party to the conversation but afterwards SWMBO told me that the company had threatened to take money from her friend's bank account for reasons unspecified.
As a matter of principle is such a thing possible and if so legal? Obviously the company has all their employees' bank details so that they can pay them at the end of the month but I have always understood that your bank would need to hold a signed mandate (direct debit or standing order) for them to accept such a demand.
What does the panel think?
