Pay Monthly Bill In Advance?

Anonymous — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 11:28:37 GMT

Ive noticed there is a button on my O2 that says pay bill, now my bill isn't due yet so if I pressed pay would I pay for my bill in advance?? (I'm a new pay monthly customer)

Slightly confused and curious.

Thanks

Bex

Have you set up a direct debit to pay your bill? If so, you don't need to do anything. The money will be debited from your account on the due date.

It's there for people who pay manually each month. Any over payments will be applied as credit on your account....

How does this work then? Instead of waiting until your DD date, you can just pay your bill via a debit card once your bill is generated? How close to the DD date can you wait to pay it before the DD will be requested anyway?

Thanks

When I checked this with o2 I was told if you pay it manually the direct debit may still come out anyway and supposedly they cant stop it

You need at least 10 days clear to prevent the DD from being taken automatically.

Just cancel your direct debit and pay in advance as I do:) anything that is extra you'll be informed about.

Direct debits are there for peace of mind, much the better option for me as I don't have the best memory nowadays.

My memory is terrible I've set up a recurring reminder on my phone.
