ESA WENT IN BANK THEM CAME STRAIGHT BACK OUT!!!

Today I finally got paid 8 weeks of ESA into the bank and then on the same day it got reversed and took out!!!!

I had a letter from the DWP confirming that i was due the payment and the amount matched up but the above happened!!!

I have no idea what’s going on at all??? Anyone had this happen??
Anyone know what this is about???

Please folks I’m lost, ill, and skint by 8 weeks starved, it’s getting too much for me I think...

Have you spoken to your bank to find out exactly what happened? Was it actively taken back out or was there a lack of confirmation of the payment or what?

I think that first thing tomorrow, you need to go to your jobcentre and ask for a crisis loan with a giro at the counter the same day. It's possible.

Meanwhile, if they don't get it sorted tomorrow, I'd get a printout of the account transactions from a cash till and give it to your MP together with a copy of the letter from the DWP saying they are paying you.

Good luck.

IT WAS PAID IN AND TOOK OUT STRAIGHT AWAY AS A "REVERSED" TRANSACTION SAME AMOUNT IN, SAME AMOUNT OUT!!

SEEMS STRANGE NEVER HAPPENED TO ME EVER BEFORE IN THE PAST??

DOES THIS KNID OF THING HAPPEN?? AND IF SO FOR WHAT REASONS??

ALL COMMENTS WELCOME THANKS FOR ADVICE

Hope you can get there in this weather, our buses have stopped running here.

TO BE HONNEST IM TERRIFIED TO GO OUT ANYWAY, AND THE JOBCENTRE WOULD SEND ME INOT MASSIVE ANXIETY ATTACKS JUST THE SMELL TRUGGERS IT..PART OF MY ILLNESS IS THOSE ISSUES AND THEN USING THE PHONE IS A CONSTANT STUTTER SHOW...IM A RECK BASICALLY BUT TYPING IS BEST FOR ME.

I haven't heard of this happening with benefits, but that's not to say that it doesn't happen.

How have you been coping until now? Are you getting social fund loans (i.e. do you know how they work) or are you using some other source of funding (I don't need to know what)?
