Pay by d/d keep getting asked to update credit card

I pay my monthly bill  by D/D. But every time I log on latley, I keep getting asked to update my credit card.  The debit card (Maestro) that I made my original payment  by runs out at the end of the month. When I try to update it only,amex mastercard & visa  are listed as payment options. As I pay by D/D can I forget about this reminder

Re: Pay by d/d keep getting asked to update credit card

There shouldn't be any need to worry about this as you have a payment method set. The only reason we'd need a card is if we'd have to take any one off charges for any reason (hardware delivery or something like that) and we can take the details over the phone if that's the case.
Hope this helps,

Re: Pay by d/d keep getting asked to update credit card

Ok thanks for that. Why don't you accept D/D payments on the web site. I seem to remember when I set up the original card I had to do it over the phone. Is it that you have to pay a higher commission to the bank for a D/D payment. So you prefer a credit card payment. ?

Re: Pay by d/d keep getting asked to update credit card

You can set direct debit up via the website, though if you mean debit cards this is because unlike credit cards we don't get continuous authority, which means that each monthly payment has to be authorised before it can be taken.
Hope that helps,
James

I don't know the exact cost implications (I don't work in Finance ;)) but it would be more preferable at our end to have Direct Debit payments set up.  I believe that one off card payments would aqctually cost us more than bulk processing direct debit payments (we do thousands on a daily basis).

If the user doesn't use the card surely the details could be removed so that he doesn't keep getting nagged. Dave T did something similar for me in the past.

Re: Pay by d/d keep getting asked to update credit card

HI again. Yes the Debit card details were  indeed removed. The only problem is that I am still getting the upgrade card message,even though I don't have a card on my A/C anymore. I have put in another ticket today. Wonder what will happen now?

Hi there,
I've removed all trace of your card details from our system, so you shouldn't receive any more of these.
Feel free to give me a nudge if you do and I'll get someone to take a further look.

Yep. That seems to have done the trick. Thanks
