It is your responsibility to ensure that there are sufficient clear funds available in your account to allow a debit payment to be made in accordance with the Direct Debit Request.

If there are insufficient clear funds in your account to meet a debit payment:

  • you may be charged a fee and/or interest by your financial institution;
  • you may also incur fees or charges imposed or incurred by us; and
  • you must arrange for the debit payment to be made by another method or arrange for sufficient clear funds to be in your account by an agreed time so that we can process the debit payment.

You should check your account statement to verify that the amounts debited from your account are correct.

If you believe that there has been an error in debiting your account, you should notify us directly on 1300 882 448 and confirm that notice in writing with us as soon as possible so that we can resolve your query more quickly.

If we conclude as a result of our investigations that your account has been incorrectly debited we will respond to your query by arranging for your financial institution to adjust your account (including interest and charges) accordingly. We will also notify you in writing of the amount by which your account has been adjusted.

If we conclude as a result of our investigations that your account has not been incorrectly debited we will respond to your query by providing you with reasons and any evidence for this finding in writing.
