SInce I have signed up for my lease agreement, I have been paying rent initially via debit and since I found out about snipp this has been my primary method of paying to rack some frequent flyer points through AMEX.
With my payments it's been charging me an extra $5.00 but since they want me to do the payments weekly it was more of convenience on my end. Little to my knowledge, the local Ray White has passed the payment portfolio onto their Ray White HQ in Brisbane and since then has been harassing me with a barrage of emails from Ailo indicating my application has now been "approved" to make rent payments through them. I called RW in Brisbane and after a rished conversation with a certain PM I was not given a full explanation of the transfer. There has been no communication from my property manager either prior to this as well.
I tried looking up on RTA about changes in the payment method and I could not find anything regarding this. The payment I signed up for in the agreement (or what I was presented with) was through bank debit. Could they enforce this change legally in Qld?
I am now having to deal with emails from "Ailo" and apparently I am xx days overdue. My current payment method remains working and it is definitely the reason why it does not reflect the change on the new app.

Fun part is Ailo is run by the White family, so it's just nepotism at its finest.
