    No. But it saves me time, hassle, and bank transaction charges.

    But Srameen, surely you have to pay charges to set up a standing order/direct debit and each debit is subject to a small charge each time. That's the way it used to be, correct me if I'm wrong...

    Whatever about discount , there are charges if the DD fails .

    Your bank will charge you around € 12 and Eircom will add on around € 18 .

    Depending on your bank, regular day to day transactions (incl. direct debits) are generally free. You generally only run into charges if the DD bounces.

    I hate Direct Debits. At least now you can cancel them with just a phone call.

    No. There is no cost to me on having a Direct Debit. I have loads of them operating. You may be thinking of a Standing Order.

    Yes, that helps.:rolleyes:

    DDs are excellent and I have been trouble free with them for 30 years (Eircom, ESB, club memberships, TV licence, etc etc)
