Contacted bank with respect to unknown check submitted and paid by bank on October 5. On October 6 could view check submitted, it was a bogus check drafted against our account by Certegy Payment Recovery Services which does not have accurate information with respect to address, phone numbers and does not have our authorized signature. It shows in signature section "Pre-authorized Debit."
We authorized no such payment, filled out no such paperwork with our bank for removal of the funds. Bank states they are aware of the company and they have the right. Consumers beware, it is possible for anyone to do this, by providing a bar-code, fictious information and a simple "Pre-authorized Debit" as your signature.
We have objected both in writing to our bank and verbally and ask for the return of the funds, we have also expressed our grave concerns that our bank would allow the removal of funds from our account without our filling out the proper paper work authorizing such and or our signature on any checks submitted. What good does getting a person's fingerprint do? What is the purpose of having signatures on file? Guess we can all make money off the unknowing consumers. I guess all we have to do is provide a fraudulent document to Certegy's bank of Wacovia National for direct deposit into our accounts and their bank will cash it for us too.
We have forwarded the information to our attorney for review and will continue to demand our funds be returned our bank shall remain unnamed at this time.
One more thing, we have never been contacted by this company by telephone or by US Post office, not once.
