Disputes

If you believe that a drawing has been initiated incorrectly, we encourage you to take the matter up directly with The Shepherd Centre on (02) 9370 4400.

If you do not receive a satisfactory response to your dispute from us, contact your financial institution.

You will receive a refund of the drawing amount if we cannot substantiate the reason for the drawing.

Note: Your financial institution will ask you to contact us to resolve your disputed drawing prior to involving them.

Your commitment to us

It is your responsibility to ensure that:

Your nominated account can accept Direct Debits (your financial institution can confirm this); and

On the drawing date there are sufficient cleared funds in the nominated account; and

You advise us if the nominated account is transferred or closed.

If your drawing is returned or dishonoured by your financial institution we will contact you by phone or mail to see if it is possible for you to continue to make these payments and to request a re-draw after a nominated period. We will ask you to reimburse us with any transaction fees incurred by us in respect of the above.
