    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 instead
    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 though
    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.
    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.

    Sam 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 leave
