    You say they said they "could" give you the details...did they, and have you successfully used them for a large transfer?

    I didn't do it that way in the end, I sent the money to my smile a/c instead of RBS, and they processed the direct debit no problem.

    Not, until they get short of a bit of cash perhaps.
    Oh I see, when you said "It gives them carte blanche" you were just scaremongering and not getting your information from T&C's, or speaking from experience as I tried to ascertain with my earlier reply to you.

    Not sure how you think you're helping the OP, but there you go. :confused:

    It gives them carte blanche to take unspecified amounts out of your account whenever they feel like it - leaving you to argue the toss about whether it was a mistake or not.

    The Direct Debit Guarantee - fine , if you can agree it was a mistake.

    Stay in control & avoid banks who insist on a Direct Debit mandate.

    Well that bit was from experience - Vodafone 'though .
    Sorry to have distracted from it with the 2nd 'though.
