'o'rangerblue 89 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/football-news/article/2827793BRIAN STOCKBRIDGE, Finance Director of The Rangers Football Club, issued the following statement today."Over the last few days it has become apparent that there is confusion regarding direct debit arrangements for season tickets."This has arisen primarily because new direct debit arrangements had to be put in place following the creation of the new company."Supporters have given us valuable feedback on this issue saying they are unclear on whether their direct debit instructions were tied to the old company in administration or the new company."All direct debits would have been paid to the new company from July 6 and all season ticket funds are to be used solely for the benefit of the Club and its supporters."However, it is clear from feedback from supporters that there remains some concern about the transfer of direct debit instructions from the old company to the new company."The uncertainty resulted in some misleading media coverage which only added to the confusion and caused issues for service providers."For the sake of clarity and to give reassurance to fans, the Club will not take any direct debit payments for the forthcoming season."We are working with our bank, Metro Bank, to ensure those who wanted to pay by instalment are still able to do so. The Club will issue a fuller communication within the next few days to all season ticket holders confirming the ways in which they can pay for their 2012\13 season tickets."The Club apologises for any inconvenience to supporters but it is of paramount importance that supporters renewing season tickets have absolute clarity on the arrangements in place."

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 The sad thing will be idiots who think that they have prevented a fraud, when all they have done is cause more administrative costs for the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldo 7 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 The problem is the same guys moaning about supposed 'fraud' would be the same ones berating the consortium if there was a delay in taking payments... Cannae win. Seems to have been no thought given to the fact that direct debit is one of the safest methods of payment (which is why it costs so much and takes a while for businesses to set-up). Had money been taken in error, you'd have gotten it back regardless.Unfortunately, as legalbeagle has pointed out, it's now a case that payments will be delayed even further and more costs have to be incurred.
