Ill reply in your style of writing.

If you online you dont have to pay this charges extra for paper statement that you could pay fees that you dont have to if you do online, to me it seems fair that the company has set up charges like this for customers to pay bills in several different ways

Freddie shall now interrupt for the disengerenous.

OP has got a PC
OP still recieves paper bill
OP upset at paying for this.

OP. Freddie suggest a short webwise curse at the local college and you too will save a bob or two!

Why get so excited? Look at it like this, you're offered an effective £4.80 discount for paying by DD because they know you're not going to be late paying/forgetting a bill and having to chase you.

I dont see the rant here, other firms do it and its been like it for a number of years, re teh dd thing well thats your own fault

is there any need to be so cruel and scathing just because someone doesn't have perfect grammar and spelling?

Mean spirited.

Passive aggressive bullying from behind the protection of a keyboard. Do you speak to people like that in your everyday life? :mad:

fiendishly

One of the forum rules:

If you don’t like someone, their situation, their question or feel they’re intruding on ‘your board’ then please bite the bullet and think of the bigger issue... a Guardian article recently “doffed its cap” to this forum as being the one place where consumers can collect together and fight back, our job is to help keep it that way.

It is good practice to start a sentence with a capital letter.

3 did this to me when i cancelled a D/D coz it was gonna bounce. best thing si to set up a D/D if the contract demands it (mobile contracts) then if you can pay in advance.

Im no longer a fan of d/d's as I 'forget them' or i dont get paid ahead of time and then end up with loads of bounced charges.

no d/d means u stay in control.

ma mum doesnt do d/ds anymore (i think her bank say no after acc issues a while back) but she seems fine paying for the 'privilege' (up to £5 extra a MONTH per company!!!!!!!!)... *pffffffft*
