    If a DD fails, companies usually try again within 7 working days, I would assume the same grace period applies to other payment methods too.

    Whilst everyone raves about setting up direct debits to pay their credit cards - not everyone is paying the bill from one source. I have three credit cards, paid from two different sources.. sole and joint accounts. A DD from one account would not work in my situation.

    I have a direct debit set up to pay the minimum payment, that way I never miss a payment. I log on around the time every month and pay off the full amount manually.

    That's not a grace period.
