Wait for it ….. not paying bills by direct debit, who does? – Page 2 – Chat Forum

Gosh, this is such an exciting subject and I do apologise profusely for boring you to death :oops: Have always paid for utilities by direct debit but in view of the current economic climate, am wondering whether it makes sense to pay a monthly bill not least because it gives me control (control freak, moi?). Having been charged for two telephone lines (I am not a high-flyer btw) by BT and being made to wait until they decide to credit me, I am beginning to see little advantage to direct debits. Too much of my time is being spent on sorting out this crap when I could be on here 24/7. What say the STW Massiv?

I've just come off the phone with Virgin after they took £86 out of my account rather than £30! Flippin direct debit and incompetent virgin*.

*If they offer you free TV package don't take it, it's not worth the hassle.

Wow! 47 posts on such a boring subject 🙄

Graham - embrace middle-age, it's also an excuse for behaving badly 😀

Bob - couldn't agree more with your second post. These Regulators are getting paid money for old rope. Who regulates them?!

jonb - yep, they can do what they like!

After an angry conversation I did get £100 back, but I have made three or four complaints since January regarding them changing my contract and various other bits.
