Standing Order Services, Questions, Answers and News.

In family law cases, there is usually a local court order that sets out the rules of the case. Different courts have different names for it. Usually it is called the standing order, although it may be called the Domestic Relations Procedural Order. Whatever it is called, you will receive this order when you file your case, at the same time as you receive your summons. It is very important and you should read it carefully. Most significantly, it usually prohibits either parent from removing any minor child(ren) from Alaska or selling marital property without the opposing party's agreement or the court's approval. Violating this order is as serious as violating any court order. Be sure you understand what it says. To learn more, please read the Domestic Relations Procedural Order (Standing Order) section.

Question: Standing Order? I pay by Standing Order for my Internet Provider but today I have found out the bank has been paying the standing order to a different ref. number and not the reference number that my Internet Provider gave them. So I owe money to Tiscali and it's not my fault. I have to go to the bank today. Do I ask to see the manager? and has anyone else had similer problems. Thanks Tina

Answer: Just go to your bank and request every payment they made to a wrong account. Then contact that place where the payment went and request credit from them. You may have a fight if you have paid them for along time to get your funds. Make sure all conversations are followed up with a letter stating what was talked about.

Question: Standing order? Hi, I rented a house and signed my standing order that the agency put in front of me. For some reason the bank must have made a mistake with a decimal point and an incorrect (less) amount cameout for a few months, where do i stand?

Answer: Unfortunately it means you haven't paid what you owed, and you still owe it. Make sure the bank have the right amount set up now, and check it out every month. Good luck.

Question: How long does it take to cancel a standing order? I cancelled a standing order online i'm pretty sure at least 2 days before the standing order was due out of my account. When I cancelled the standing order there was no notice saying how long it took and was instantly taking off my standing order list so i persumed that it had been done straight away. However, after checking my account they have charged me £38 for an unpaid fee. Is there a way of checking when i cancelled the standing order or will i need to ring Natwest to find out? The standing order as not set up by a company. The standing order was set up by myself to a family member. I cancelled the standing order.

Answer: just because u cancelled the standing order doesn't mean that the actual payment has been cancelled with the company. The company may still be expecting this payment and because it wasn't made u have recieved a fee. Get in touch with the company you were paying and tell them u wish to stop the payments, then also check with ur bank that the standing order has been cancelled too.

Question: Who is responsible for canceling a standing order at the end of a tenancy? I have just moved into a new flat and have been charged a months rent for my previous tenancy.

Is it mine or the letting agencies responsibility to cancel the standing order?

Answer: The account holder is the only one who can cancel a standing order. I.E. YOU.

Question: How long does a standing order take to reach another bank? I have money coming out my RBS account every thursday so I set up a weekly standing order to leave my Clydesdale account every thursday to go to my RBS account. Will the transfer be instant? Will the money reach the RBS account to cover the payments in time to avoid charges?

Answer: No = Standing Orders are like cheques and will take the usual "3-5 working days" (Direct Debits are 'instant', but that's another story) Even with two accounts at the same Bank (which should be done 'same day'), on any given day, ALL the Debits (money out) are auctioned BEFORE any of the credits (money coming in) ... so even with 2 accounts at the same bank you have to action the transfer the day before Note = in practice, it's USUALLY 3 working days - so if you want to take a risk, setup the SO to leave the Clydesdale on Friday & it should reach RBS the following Wednesday (& thus be available for debits on Thursday)

Question: How many days does it take for a standing order to reach the other person? I have a standing order set up to pay my rent, do they receive the payment the same day or does it take a few days to show. Bearing in mind we both have Natwest baank accounts.

Answer: maximum one day, but new bank legislation introduced about 5 months ago make it instant for the same banks...and 1 day maximum for other banks...it used to be 1 day for same banks and 5-7 days for other banks.

Question: Is a supervisor governed by the standing order for workmen also eligible for overtime payment? Though the standing order of my company includes a clause that supervisors are not eligible for overtime, the wage revision when takes place includes supervisors along with workmen.Both are represented by the Workmen's union.Please help.

Answer: Check the union contract. I expect that there is a clause which specifies when supervisory employees are eligible for overtime. I was Chief Engineer on a ship and was generally not eligible for overtime, although my Assistant Engineers (same union) were eligible. Under certain conditions explained in the Union contract with the employer, I could get overtime, however. Very unusual conditions, certainly, but it was possible.

Question: Is it legal to charge me for paying a standing order when I have no funds & didn't give my concent? When I set up my bank account with HSBC I didn't want an overdraft facility.

HSBC paid it anyway and without my concent they now want to charge me for having paid the standing order, is this legal?

Answer: Yes, it is legal and binding When you signed up for the direct debit agreement ,unless you cancelled it previously then the bank are obliged to carry our the direct debit instructions from you as you have given your consent in the original D/D agreement You always need to make sure you always have sufficient funds in your account, at all times, to cover your ongoing direct debits or else cancel any direct debits with your bank , giving them plenty of prior notice

Question: When does a standing order leave someones account? My boss pays me by a standing order I get paid every Friday. When does it leave his account? Can he stop it on a Thursday or has it already left his account?

Answer: Even if he went into his bank to stop it, it takes several days for new instructions to go through, so no, I think your Friday pay could not be stopped that quickly.

Question: Letting agent wants to change rent payment from cheque to standing order? After paying my rent to the same letting agency, by cheque for 10 years, the agent now says he will not accept cheques for payment only by standing order. Do I have to comply?

Answer: You obviously have a current account as you have a cheque book, so all you have to do is set up a standing order at the bank and the payment will go through your landlord account each month on a set date. You still have full control over the payments as it will be your responsibility to change any payment dates or amounts with a standing order, which isn't the case with a direct debit. This should not make any difference to you whatsoever.

Question: Does it cost anything to set up a standing order into another bank account? Is there a charge for this? I have a hsbc account and want to set up a standing order into a nationwide account in the uk.

Answer: There's negligable cost to your bank for actually making a standing order transaction (it's fractions of fractions of pennies) and as far as I'm aware, 99% of high street banks don't charge a set-up fee to personal account holders. If yours does - kick up a stink!

Question: How to pay a standing order online with HSBC? Hi, I'm trying to pay a standing order online with HSBC, on the form it says the bank name and address but there is no space for that, and I assume the payee name is the actual name of the co. rather than the bank. Will it go through ok if the name and address of the bank is not there, as the sort code surely says what bank/branch etc. it is. Thanks

Answer: Yes, as long as the sort code and account number are correct, you don't need the bank name and address. They can actually look that up themselves from the sort code. On the forms, its just to make life easier for the person processing them, but when your doing it yourself online you don't need this. The payee name is the name of the person or company the account is for.

Question: Can you set up a standing order on a credit card? Can you set up a standing order on a credit card or does it have to be on a debit card?

Answer: Yes. I do this all the time. It's great to get card rebates on my phone bill and a lot of other regular payments. It all depends if the vendor provides the service and will accept credit card payments.

Question: Advice needed on a standing order coming out of my natwest account next monday? If I don't have the required amount thats due out of my account on monday, will the natwest charge me a fee, and if so how much? I thought of cancelling standing order and sending a cheque to the company when I have enough money in account. The company is lowell Finance, its to pay of a credit card from 5 years ago. Has anyone dealt with Lowell Finance??

Answer: Phone the company explaining there will not be enough money in the account of the day of the standing order and that you fully intend to pay it as soon as you have the funds available. They should cancel the standing order for you and represent it at a time better suited to yourself. If they do not, and you cancel it with the bank, the finance company may charge you for default of agreement. Best way is to try and reason with them. The worst way is to ignore it and hope for the best.

Question: standing order?

Answer: Are you asking what a standing order is? If so let me give you an example. A company needs 24 drums of a particular product, but they need only 1 drum per month. The company will send a purchase order to the supplier for the 24 drums but request a delivery of 1 drum per month. The supplier now has a standing order of 1 drum of the product for 24 month. It is sort of like a suppliers contract. Hope this helped!

Question: i dont have enough money in my halifax account to cover a standing order coming out tomorrow? A standing order is due to come out of my halifax account tomorrow but there is not enough money in my account to cover it, i will go to the bank at 9:30am in the morning to pay the rest of the money in but will it be too late by then to pay the standing order? and will the bank charge me?
