Only when it gets to the point where they would currently take you to court would this law kick in.

It’s comforting to know that you are privy to a new law that MIGHT be brought in entwisi. The government is currently only CONSIDERING this Draconian law.

It's perfectly possible to have law and order without excessive control of the people.

Having a law that allows a government department the authority to take money from a citizen’s bank account without due process of presenting proof of the debt in a court of law is EXCESSIVE CONTROL.

what you suggest is that we all live in dictatorships because we have law.

If the best that you can do is to put words into my mouth to support your argument then your case is lost.

Once again you talk about a subject and do nothing but spread misinformation.

What misinformation is that?

DD’s can also be for a fixed amount for a fixed period and in those cases the account holder is not informed when a withdrawal is made. It just happens on the due date or if the due date happens to be a weekend or a bank holiday the withdrawal SHOULD be made on the first working day after the due date.

Now if you want to carry on splitting hairs, be my guest. I’ve said my piece and stand by what I stated. It is wrong for the government to take money from a citizen’s account without the account holder’s authority or without due process in a court of law to establish beyond the balance of probabilities that the debt exists and has not been settled.
