Concerns regarding unexpected payment taken by “theacc”

ACC (Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions) have for several months received a number of enquiries regarding payments being debited from personal bank accounts from www.theacc.co.uk. Banks are signposting people with these unexpected payments of about £17, but we want to reassure you that these payments have not been requested or received by us as ACC do not take automatic payments in any of our undertakings and are therefore not responsible for these debits.
