I don't understand. For me, once you give the authorization to a company to take from your bank account, you don't expect to receive any other payment request.

What differences do you think there are? You don't manage the same way. I think when the company ask to get paid, it must be done almost automaticaly following the rules of the payment terms. But when it is the company that must pay it must can be just partial payment, it can be late, it should certainly be validated by some "boss" etc. -- Cédric Krier B2CK SPRL Rue de Rotterdam, 4 4000 Liège Belgium Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Email/Jabber: cedric.kr...@b2ck.com Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
