Probably A Ridicoulous Question But Can You Set Up All Your Direct Debit Payments On A Credit Card? And Is It A Good Idea As Long As Ou Pay It Off Monthly?

CC dont allow DD to be set up but you can have continuous payment authorisations which are approximate equivalent.
However you need to consider that unlike DD you can't cancel them, you have to ask the payee to do this and can be a source of a lot of trouble and also the DD guarentee isn't applicable.
Also if you ever cancel the CC you have to make sure you transfer all the charges.
Additionally lots of suppliers won't accept payment by CC (e.g. most but not all Councils, water companies, Utilities etc)
So i wouldn't recommend that course of action.0
