    Well, the third word there, wrf, is great evidence to ignore the rest of the comment.

    It's a shame, because you actually make a sensible point for once - this is likely to be outside the scope of expectation for the design of the billing system.  That was one argument for the "take the full DD and then refund £66 a couple of days afterwards" arrangement that some of the suppliers are doing.

    Everyone's friend wrf, with their continued insistence that everything is predatory, malicious or otherwise run by The Man.

    Didn't quote it because I didn't feel like seeing it repeated.

    Actually not for what it's worth, but @[Deleted User]'s post immediately followed one from the OP and I was hoping to head off possible misunderstanding.
