1/3 METUFT monthly direct debits from my bank account, what about?

METUFT debits are related to the taking out of a subscription to a service on the internet. METUFT therefore proceeds to direct debits, following a subscription action on an online site: a site for a contest, or a site for discounts, or even dating sites, not to mention leisure sites ( films/series, video games, clairvoyance, etc.). Thousands of sites circulate on the web to offer you tempting offers, with a key subscription system.)

By purchasing a service and subscribing, the company linked to METUFT is entitled to charge you every month. It works like a SEPA direct debit, but directly with your credit card which has been entered.

But I have never taken out a subscription and monthly debits! Don't worry, that's the dispute of many of you, and we believe you. Here is the explanation of the process: you have given your credit card numbers as part of a purchase on the internet for a trial offer, shipping costs for a gift and many other requests ... Only, within General conditions of sale of the site (Terms and Conditions), it is registered that unless you retract, the subscription is created following. The conclusion is clear: you have an activated subscription and directly linked to your card, which was entered upstream.

All the comments from internet users point in this direction, and don't worry, we will help you understand how to delete the subscription as well as the direct debits with the title METUFT !

2/3 How do I cancel METUFT direct debits and can I get a refund?

The termination of METUFT direct debits is possible! On your own, online, you can cancel the subscription and you will find all the information to help you in these steps, directly on the site in question.

If this procedure is complex for you, or if you wish to be accompanied personally for several reasons (you are not comfortable with the tool, you do not remember where the bank charges come from, etc.) then it is possible to call on a service provider! For the termination of the subscription, we recommend that you I stop the costs!

This company acts, with you, for the research of the site in connection with your subscription and to accompany you in the final resolution of this problem of recurring direct debits. Sometimes, it is even possible to extract a refund, when requesting termination. Please note, refunds are unfortunately not a systematic obligation, the sites reimburse on a case-by-case basis. On the other hand, the cessation of METUFT direct debits as well as the termination of subscriptions are a guarantee of this company. I stop the costs! : 100% effective or refunded!

3/3 Legal or illicit practice: light on METUFT?

Is METUFT a fraud scheme? ? The appearance is that of a scam, while some believe the system is quite legitimate. As of March 2018, the Cour de Cassation accepted as reason the faulty negligence of a customer, due to the fact that his bank card details were transmitted to a dishonest site. An opposition from the bank was made for reimbursement requests, insofar as it reproached its client for its negligence, for the online payment, while respecting the conservation of his bank details, which are strictly personal.

 

The banks can therefore take advantage of this decision of the French justice, to justify their refusal to block your bank card as well as questionable debits.

If you still have your credit card, then the risk is low that it is a hacking of it, from the METUFT site. Blocking the card linked to the subscription may result in not respecting the contract you have taken out (by validating the General Conditions of Sale). We therefore recommend that you do not block your bank card and carry out the procedure for terminating the current subscription as soon as possible.

How is it possible to protect yourself against questionable withdrawals in connection with a subscription purchased online?
