You can phrase it two ways. It is either

1) People who pay via D/D pay less than those who can't (just like people who pay D/D get cheaper gas, electricity, insurance and council tax than those who don't). So Direct Debit customer get a discount for paying that way.

or

2) People who don't pay via D/D pay more than those that can (just as they get charged more for gas, electricity, insurance and council tax than those that do). So non Direct Debit customers get charged for not paying via Direct Debit.

End result is the same. It is not just a Virgin thing, but a UK culture thing
