    Yes, they are charging that to everyone who doesn't pay by direct debit - there are several other cable forums with threads running about this very subject. Rip off, if you ask me. :(

    Don't see the point anymore in offering advice to people who only want to be agreed with...

    unbelivable isnt it?£5 for what paper??it is a big rip off,i will be ringing up tommorow.
    the trouble with these companies is that they dont care about the customer and just want every penny they can grab,im glad she never paid it.

    Apparently it's not a £5 charge for not paying by direct debit - it's a £5 discount if you do pay that way! :)
    From the VM site:
    Payment: The prices above are for payment by Direct Debit only. They
    take into account the fact that you save £5 on your bill when you pay
    in this way.
