Debit Arrangement

I've been paying my mobile phone bills for over two years without ever defaulting. This month I have received a huge bill, which was all my fault, but I do not have enough money in my account to cover the amount until 2 days after my account should have been debited by the pnone company. What can I do to avoid being penalised by the bank?

Comments

  • Call the bank and extend your overdraft for 2 days.
  • cancel the direct debit. then call the mobile company and say you accidently cancelled the direct debit. arrange to pay over the phone or cheque... and get the direct debit set up again.

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
