I have used SJD as my accountant for a year so, but emailed them 3 months ago to day I no longer needed their services. They confirmed this, but I've just checked my account and they are still taking money out of my account. Do I need to cancel the SO with my bank or should SJD have done that? Also what are my chances of getting my $$ back off them?

Cancel Standing Order?

Only the account holder can cancel a standing order, so get moving, you will have to ask for your cash back!"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero -

They have not taken your money you have given it to them. Standing Orders are a push payment where as Direct Debits are a pull payment...if you get what I mean. SO its hardly their fault.
I'd say you have a very good chance of getting your money back they are a reputable company from the experiences people mainly have with them.
I mean I assume that you did try and phone them up before posting here otherwise it just looks like an attempt the spread malicious posts about SJD over the board.Comment

This is different from a direct debit which is an instruction to your bank to allow someone to collect money from your account on a regular basis.
This is basic stuff, why do I get the feeling these days that everyone was born yesterdayComment
