PayPal have stopped DDs from the web interface. There was some talk of the app working but that's been reported as having stopped as well0

Has anyone found in the actual new Banking Regulations for 2018 a reference to not allowing Direct Debits for funding Savings Accounts?
I have tried multiple searches, and looked through a number of documents, but can't find any reference to this change that Tesco are claiming to be a Regulation change; most is about Open Banking and Credit Card charges.0 -
Just had an. E-mail from Barclays with their new t&cs come Jan. 2018.
No mention was made regarding changes to DD payments.Could be Tesco are just using this as an excuse, after all the cost to them in raising DD I guess will be considerable.0 -
I hate Tesco anyway, so I'm glad I've been abusing them!I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?0

It would soften the blow of having to pay for prescriptions if they'd take 12 monthly DD's for the prepayment card, but they'll only take 10 :mad:
So you could use the prepayment card for ten months, and an annual DD or little used credit card for each of the other two.Eco Miser

Same here. My water bill currently generates 9p/mth cashback, so that will become a BoS DD instead.
I'm also going to take another look at my energy supplies as my current supplier does a combined bill on a quarterly basis. Split supplies billed monthly could be worth £6 per quarter in DD 'savings' and I know I spend less than £100 per month on energy on average. Hopefully I'll get better energy prices too
My water bill is six monthly, but will change to monthly in light of this change. Still thinking through how to manage my multiple high interest c/as in future...
This will force many of us to review our DDs and other MSE practices.Free thinker.:cool:0 -
I've set up a Gocardless account. Are they likely to have an issue with someone using it for personal rather than business reasons?I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?0

I tried this, as a Limited Company, two years ago. After about four months of operating DDs such as one would in our circumstances, using monthly DD amounts in the range £10.99 to £29.99, they closed me out. If that is what they do to a Limited Company acting sensibly I'd have thought that a personal application would be rejected far sooner.
Times change. Try your own test regime and tell us how it goes.0 -

I see clauses 17 & 20 could apply to our use of GoCardless, although took some digging to find this pageI consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?0
