Early payment of bill

[MandyJ]

My bill is due on the 23rd but I paid it early on the 18th... Will my direct debit come out as I don't want to be charged twice?

someone I spoke to on phone ****

@MandyJ.....what you've not explained is why you wanted to pay 5 days early when you knew there was a DD in place........I just don't understand.

[MandyJ]

because I wanted to get it out the way that way I wouldn't spend it... 😂 it ain't a crime to pay a debt early 🤣🤣

[MandyJ]

I had extra money so why not !! Anyway... that's that... it's sorted now so all good 😁

[MandyJ]

I didn't need to explain why anyway... I was asking advice ... so

Just interested......lesson learned.

I suspected that would be the case as I said originally. I worked in a bank before my retirement but you could have suspended the direct debit for one month. That way there is no need to set it up again. 

Anyway, glad to hear that you have sorted it out and thanks for updating us @MandyJ 😀

[MandyJ]

No I couldn't... i did ask to suspend for a month but he said they didn't do that and had to just cancel it.

[MandyJ]

Thanks. Glad it's sorted lol... well will be once I set it up again 😁

As for lesson learnt ... I've never had a contract before I've always been on pay as you go... I didn't think paying in advance would be such a big drama... I mean you get people not paying at all... pffft... anywayyyy
