Yup, same here in Italy.

The infuriating thing is that some american users think that since they have to endure crappy banking then everybody else on the planet must also be enduring the same thing, and that's not the case.

I must explicitly approve any direct debit subscription before it can withdraw money from my balance and I can kill a subscription from my home banking (I'm an Unicredit customer btw).

That's actually how I made sure my gym subscription was terminated for good.

If for nothing else, the angry Americans downvoted you to hell for this


I can't hear them over the sound of proper banking :P


Probably because it incorrectly characterizes the typical US banking system experience while throwing shade on Americans.


Very likely that doing this will still mess up your credit ratings and result in calls from debt collectors, even if you're in Europe.


Over a 10 euro/month subscription? Zero chance. Even in Europe.


There are also 720 euro/month gym subscriptions in Europe, and probably everything in between.

Just a 30 euro/month subscription would quickly add up to amounts worth collecting, although I've even had a debt collector call me over a debt of 2 something euros.
