Random Debit off my account with no explanation

I received a debit for R299 on my account on 03-08-2015. Thinking it was a ****, I Googled it to find that Digicash is a middle company that collects money on behalf of the business I've apparently signed a debit with. So I send an email to Digicash off their website, politely requesting what the debit was for. A week later and still no response. I've seen other complaints and the answers are \the law requires we have use this description"well the law should require that no third parties should be taking debits on behalf of companies - especially when they can't provide users with clear descriptions! As soon as I've found who who the debit was for and if I actually signed one with them"

Hello nortynorts,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We'll aim to assist in resolving your query as quickly as possible.
Please note that Digicash is a duly registered Third Party Payment Provider (TPPP) who facilitates debit order collections on behalf of various merchants.

The process is as follows:
o A consumer enters into an agreement with one of our merchants
o That merchant utilises DigiCash's software to collect funds from the consumer's account
o Digicash registers a unique assigned short name (ASN) with its sponsoring bank which the merchant must use when submitting debit orders
o The ASN, a reference number and Digicash's name will appear in your bank statement. This will help us to identify the merchant responsible for debiting your account

We would ask that you please contact us on *** with further details of the transaction. We will then be able to put you in direct contact with the company who asked us to collect these funds from you, and this can then be resolved.

The Digicash Team
