Direct debits for banks switching

magical_times

I have 5 bank accounts, which I want to switch, however no direct debits in them, is there a list I can chose from, I want 15 if possible (3 for each account). Not looking for anything like gas electricity water direct debits. Any suggestions please?

30p web site can set up small value direct debits, it's what many of us have used for switching.

just a polite comment - I set up one of those 30p DDs for a bank switch last year and the company confirmed it ok. When it was requested, my bank (NatWest), stopped the action and reversed the transaction. On enquiring I was told that it was a suspicious request and therefore cancelled. I haven’t bothered with any of them after, but I read on here that many people use them without problems.

I used BonusDebits for the Lloyds switch. You can set up to 3 direct debits with one form for 40p each - quickest and easiest I’ve found so far.
