Direct debit's

Is there any tricks to getting round the 2 direct debits required by the lloyds club current account?

I'm guessing, setting up 2 payments to transfare money to another account won't count as direct debits?

I don't want to start paying bills from my savings accounts so don't want to move bills to them accounts.

Thanks
Dan

  • You can go onto some charity websites and set up a direct debit donation... I have used Woodlands Trust to set up £1 a month direct debit.... a small price to pay ;) I've not been inundated with advertising or cold calls either.

    No, those would be standing orders. A direct debit can only be set up by the recipient.

    I believe some people use Tesco accounts or Paypal which can be set up to take funding by direct debit, or by setting up (small) donations to charities.
