    4 weekly is not monthly.

    Which, if you read my post properly is not what I said anyway.

    Being paid 4 weekly or 4 monthly is not an excuse to not be able to manage Direct debits.

    Sorry I read '4 weekly or monthly' rather than '4 weekly or 4 monthly'. I got the impression from your post that you get paid monthly and have no problem paying by DD and therefore I shouldn't. I was stating that being paid 4 weekly is completely different. It's easy to loose track of what payments are going out when and co-ordinating the dates. It's much easier for me to pay everything at once when I get paid every 4 weeks.
