I am not really sure why it's an issue or why it has to be done manually? The money is in your account, it gets taken by DD on a day you know in advance, if they take it late, so be it on them.teaselMay said:
That's not what happened with mine, and the we'll take x on y date but it's too late to change it now are particularly unhelpful emails. Solved by doing it manually every month though.Nasqueron said:
As has been posted on here before, it's done as a fixed number of days since last one, rather than a fixed day, mine flits around from 18th to 22nd depending on that and weekends, they always email you in advance thoughteaselMay said:Barclays seem to take my payment over a much wider range of dates than any of my other direct debits. I had a 0% transfer on it that I'm paying back over a few months. I've ended up changing my direct debit to minimum payment as a back stop and manually paying the amount I want to on the same date every month insteadSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

Does your banking app show pending DDs? That would give the date the payment is due to leave0
