Paying contract by Standing Order

Beccles29 · 2016-02-28 20:21:14

Hi, I would like to be able to pay a mobile contract by standing order, so that the payment only goes out on the day of the week that I get paid (not the date of the month, like Direct Debits). Does anyone know of any companies that allow this payment method? TIA

It's worth to learn budgeting instead of wasting £5 p.m.

And I still fail to see how 2/4-weekly SO can be useful for paying monthly bills. The difference between the due date and the payment date will increase by 2-3 days every month and you will end up overpaying. This is assuming that you never exceed your allowances and are sure that the amount due remains the same.
