    Can i have a DD 'pay balance in full' and be assured i will never incur any charge.

    Like is said have never used a CC!
    Yes, you can. Just phone them up and setup the direct debit (or do it online if applicable). Then check your statements, once they say the amount owed will be collected by DD then you should be sorted!

    Yes this is the surest way.
    If you set up a DD then Barclays will always take it on time.

    If you pay it yourself you have to make sure payments are cleared by the due date, so easier to let them do it.
