Re: whay pay £5 DD charges
The Virgin £5 is what is keeping me away. I've told 'em I'm not happy with Sky and they could have a new 80-odd quid a month customer but I'm not doing DD's.
Sky takes the money from my credit card. It gives me a bonus and extra protection under the credit card rules and regs.
Someone asked the question "why don't you like DD's?" to another posting. My reason are you are giving a company open access to your money to take what they want. Yes, there is the guarantee, but while you argue your account stays light. Also, the third party has no way of checking you have funds. If for any reason you don't have enough money (i.e. someone else has taken too much!) you cop a whacking charge, and probably from both ends - and it goes on your credit reference file.
Nope - there's only three people can take money out of my account; the bank, the wife, and me .... and I'm not over-chuffed about the first of those!
