Regular Payments off a Credit Card Discussion

Moglex

I've been using 18866 (another part of 1899) for over two years now, and have never had a problem with them (except that they have quadrupled their prices to me).

Since they only charge you for usage, they are unlikely to cause a problem, since, unlike a recurring fixed charge, they cannot 'forget' to cancel your payment. They would have to actually charge you for calls you haven't made.

It seems a shame that 1899/18866 are being focused upon here when no one has had a problem with them (apart from one minor one which was quickly resolved), and yet ISP's and mobile phone companies who cause many serious problems are rarely mentioned.

Thanks for your replies.

I am sure 1899/18866 are fine - it is the payment method and security over the internet with credit card number/bank info that concerns me. More good feedback is what I was after as this seems such a fantastic deal to me.

Well, I've already given good feedback once, but that was just for myself.

However, I've recommended 18866 to about 8 people since I discovered it, and none have had a single problem with them.

One person didn't start using them for a year because he thought "there has to be a catch"

Hi there. I have been paying the subscripion to this site via Papypal so that there is spending on my 0% life of the balance Barclays card(so I don't get charged interest) which I have now paid off HOORAH!!!! how do I cancel the subscription payment?

I don't know what 'this site' you mean, but the only regular way to cancel subscription is by contacting 'this site' ...

Hi Grumbler,
I mean that I set up the £1 subscription to MSE when I took up the Barclaycard 0% for life of balance which is 0% each month as long as you spend on the card. Martin set up a facility where you set up a £1 subscription to MSE via Paypal so you were spending on the card each month but only £1. So as I have now paid off the card I need to know how to cancel the subscription.

In fact you paid £1 to some charity. I think you can find information you need here: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi?newsid1055520227,87913,

Well I'm going for it with a Direct Debit so I'll let you know how I get on!

Thanks Grumbler,
Thats exactly the info I was looking for.
Just to clarify what I was saying, on my statements the payment is registered as MSE subscription and when I set it up in July 03 50% went to the upkeep of this site and 50% to charity. As I see from the info on this link all went to charity from from May 05 which is great!!! and very little interest to Barclaycard which is even better!!

I have been using 1899 since my last post and all is going swimmingly well! There have been no problems and my phone bill has taken a serious dive. I love it!
