What if the intermediary deducts money privately?

The handling methods of intermediary's unauthorized deduction are as follows:

1. communicate with the intermediary: you can communicate with the intermediary to understand the reasons and basis for the deduction of fees and ask the intermediary to give a clear explanation and proof materials. If the intermediary can't give a reasonable explanation or proof, it can ask for a refund of the detained money.

For example, the intermediary is a housing intermediary and can complain to the local housing management department or the consumer rights protection department; If the intermediary is a recruitment intermediary, it can complain to the local labor and social security department or the consumer rights protection department.
