Bt

:confused: Does anyone know whether BT will allow you to set up a direct debit whilst you have an outstanding bill , or will they only do this when the balance is clear?

    We didn't they just let us set one up. It was £47 a month though to clear the outstanding balance. It doesn't hurt to ask and the phonecall is free, so you might as well try.
