UNAUTHORISED DEBIT ORDER AND THEN BEING PUT ON HOLD WHEN REPORTING IT

<p>an unauthorised debit order went off my account a couple of months ago. i phoned ABSA and they took it off and stopped it. Yesterday another one tried to go off again. This morning when i phoned ABSA complaints department they told me that they can put a stop on it for 6 months, which doesnt help because whoever it is still has my account number, and CAN authorise a debit order without my knowledge or signature.</p> <p> </p> <p>I then said that this is not good enough, i am going to worry every month whether they're decided to try my account again and that there has to be a better solution. i was then put on hold for half an hour, nobody reported baclk to me to give an update on what it was that they were doing or anything. i ended up putting down, and i'm now considering closing my account and going to another bank.</p>
