I know!! Go the daily Mirror 'Paul Smyth' from Newtownabbey who is mentioned in the article is my fiance, I wrote to them last week It begins!

This is my online petition about the company TRAVEL STEPS, please take a minute to sign it, and comment on what happened to you http://www.PetitionOnline.com/07729/petition.html If we all make a stand, we will surely get justice!

Well, I have sent off the letters yesterday. But like you say, its amazing how lacksidasical officials are in these situations. What has to happen to get some kind of action? A thousand took out of my account? Fifty thousand?? It shouldnt matter. Even if it was one pound, this company have still STOLEN from thousands of people. And I for one wont take it lying down. I have been the victim of a few scams in the past, but this one has really hit a nerve. How dare they. If I have to do it myself, im going to bring this company its comuppance.

The exact same has happened to my fiance yesterday. £99 from his account to HOME SHOPPING. We have never used any home shopping! The scariest thing is, its the back account details they have taken, and not the credit card number. So why has the bank honoured this payment?? I have written to them to ask this, and I suggest you all do. This company, after much investigation, without doubt prey on the fact most people do not check their bank statements. You see how quick they refund your money when you phone them? If there was any legitimacy in this ''agreement'' they would kick up a bit more fuss. They simply do not want you to take it any further. I am FURIOUS. I have written today to them requesting this 'phantom phone coversation'' we apparently had giving them permission to STEAL from our account (not sure that will do any good), to Trading Standards, to the ICO, and have reported the matter to the police. They are coming to take a statement from me this week. There is no WAY we should let this company continue. [problem] [problem] [problem].
