How long do i have
 

We have missed our pay day for NTL and there money is due out tommorow well midnight we are not due to be paid till next Wednesday,

Will they d/c us we are with Halifax how much do I stand to be charged?

Re: How long do i have
 

Well, bearing mind the fact that the Halifax are evil, you'll probably get charged their standard charge for not having enough money in the account (normally about 30 quid).

Re: How long do i have
 

We are trying to inform NTL that they can take the cash on the 8th when we are paid as there is enough in to cover the other two outstanding bills.

Re: How long do i have

This is bull**** but they wont listen because it states on the print out that they have only agreed a date not have proceded to take the money.

Now they are saying otherwise.

Re: How long do i have
 

chill out and offer to pay ask for a paypoint card and appolagise for the mess with the bank

Re: How long do i have
 

We have asked nicely mate we got told no and a very sarcastic woman who tells us nothing can be done and it is our problem with it being so close to bill date.

Re: How long do i have
 

This is one of the reasons I do not pay by DD :(

Re: How long do i have
 

just give them the facts i'm sure they will do something rather than face getting nothing

Re: How long do i have
 

Spoke rather harsh to them again and although it will attempt tonight instead of attempting in 4days time ( working days ) it shall do in 10 giving us time ( next wednesday ) to get paid and shove £300 in that bank to pay everyone off.

Re: How long do i have
 

£300 :eeek:

Re: How long do i have
 

That is about what I shall be getting :( was hoping to use it for something else :(

Re: How long do i have
 

Hope it all works out saxo, know the feeling about cash being tight all too well, there's always too much month left, never enough money.
Anyway, keep cool bud, and don't let all this make us loose one of the best posters on this forum:juggle:

Re: How long do i have
 

Good luck.
Is there no cash you have saved up for a rainy day that you could use ?
I hope it all turns out ok for you.

Re: How long do i have
 

You can't really blame NTL for you not having the cash in the bank to meet the DD payment which I would presume always comes at around the same date each month.

Talking to the bank is your best bet. I have had an account with the Bank of Scotland (which is the BOS in Halifax Bank Of Scotland) for many years and they have always given excellent service. Talking to them before something happens gets better results than waiting for penalties to be applied. Try telephoning your branch and having a word.

Re: How long do i have
 

You can kind of, NTL wont always move a DD date (they wouldn't for me) so when you go from being payed on 1st of month to the 10th then it can screw things up... as some companies will move your bill date, others wont.

I get round it by paying by standing order if a company wont move the DD for me and ditched NTL in anycase.

Re: How long do i have
 

if they wont move the date cancel it then ask to set up a new one

and do phone halifax ( though you may need to go through password set up if you havnt done telephone banking ) and let them know they mostly are helpfull if you tell them

Re: How long do i have
 

You could try asking Halifax for an overdraft (or extension). That usually goes in immediately and should stop you having to pay charges.
