Club lloyds account, Active direct debits?

I've recently done the Club lloyds switch and have received the £200 incentive.
So do l still need the 3 DD now, or can l cancel them, They are cheapo types, so nothing important.
I don't intend to hang on to this account but will leave it for a few months before downgrading it to a classic.
So, not to upset lloyds.

As I understand it the direct debits give you access to the interest. If you remove the direct debits you gain no interest. Up to you whether that's a problem or not.
I wouldn't worry too much about upsetting Lloyds Bank. As you long as you stick to the terms and conditions they are not going to take you closing an account personally.2 -
Yes, you can ditch them and the account too if you wish. Don't worry too much about upsetting Lloyds, they'll get over it.2

I'm more concerned that they may debank me because I've already opened a classic account, which l used to switch for another cash incentive less than 4 months ago.
And my current classic is being used by me.0 -

With regards to my classic account it's mainly used for paying in a couple of regular savers. So easy enough to move things about.
