Move direct debits from First Direct?

Spanishsunawaits

I switched to FD in Oct 2017. Four active direct debits, pay in salary etc. Met and still meet criteria. But now I want to switch my RBS account, which has two active DD, to M&S. I only have this account as I did a switch to it a while ago and did it just to get the cash. Criteria for M&S is to have four active DD and pay in certain amount etc. My question is, which may sound naive, can I transfer two of my DD from FD to RBS, making four active DD in RBS, then do the switch to M&S? In other words, having had the FD account for 18 months, I should be ok to reduce the number of active DD on that account?

Yes.

You can’t “transfer” them you would need to tell the provider the new account details.

Sorry, wrong terminology. I know I need to contact each provider. Thanks for your reply, will get on with it!
