    I'd suggest the bank have no interest in small regular transactions.
    I have had a DD set up since the national lottery started in 94? and have remortgaged twice / 2 x 0% loans / new Clarity CC all with no problems.
    I think if you can manage money properly then its not an issue...
    ORIGINAL MORTGAGE AMOUNT £106,454.00 (Started Sept 2007)
    NOV 2021 O/S AMOUNT £1,694.41 OUR DEBT REDUCED BY £104,759.59 by std regular, over-payments & off-setting.
    BofE +0.19% Tracker Repayment Offset Mortgage Discounted Sept 07-10 then increased to BofE +0.62% until 2027
  • Yes, my horse came in first and to win only. My other horse came in third, I only ever bet on the National and usually do it at the bookies. The horses I pick have always come in the top three for the last 6 yrs.:T

    I should have probably studied the form but I can't be bothered to be honest with you.

    On a better note I've won two tenners on the lottery this week (I play it via DD too, one line on Wednesday and one on Saturday)

    DD here as well, £1/week. So far its been free to play as the tenners I've won have paid for the amount spent.

    Think I'll quit when it changes to £2 a go though!
