Your first recourse is to the party with whom the debit order was signed or the party that has submitted the debit order for collection to your bank. Only if this course of action has proved to be unsuccessful, may you approach your bank to dispute the debit order. This is achieved by signing a dispute form at your bank, in which you declare the reason for the dispute. You will require the following documentation: South African bar coded ID document, Your account number, Your bank statement (if disputed debit order appears on it), Copy of your debit order mandate (if available)
You may dispute a debit against your account for the following reasons: You did not authorise the debit in question, or the debit is in contravention of your mandate (to the user) – e.g. amount, date, duration is incorrect, or you had already instructed the user to cancel the mandate, or the authorisation has been cancelled by you.
