    Why not use a credit card for the majority of these transactions?
    If you are lucky and the transactions are late being debited you will get an extra month to pay.

    Might be worth considering for those who would pay the bills in full each month.

    :rotfl: Living off a credit card is something I would love to be able to. That phrase gives me visions of the 80's and yuppee's. I wouldn't and don't trust myself and why should I we deserve a better deal. It has happened to me for three months in a row, however I wish they could have told me they were having problems on the phone. I think it's pot luck with call centres. I seem to get people who are having a bad day everyday.:eek:

    I still believe that there is a fix especially when so many people (Friends and Family) have said the same, some of which are better at budgeting than me. I think I will beat the drum for a mass complaint and switch :cool:
    The harder one works the luckier one gets!
