Grrrrr!

Okay, mostly my fault but you should treat people better than this.
Direct Debit failed - for the want of 36p! Angry
Seven day pause waiting for funds to put this right - self-employed, it ain't always easy.  Undecided
Phew! Log in to PlusNet to pay to be presented with two payment options: re-use the DD or pay by card.
Chose the DD as I don't want to pay by card only for the DD to then gobble up too.
5 to 7 days for a DD to do its stuff.
Bingo! Service restricted!
NOWHERE did it say this could or would be a consequence of paying by DD.
Switch me back on!

Didn't say it was. Might I suggest you keep your opinion to yourself if you don't understand the grievance?

Re: Grrrrr!

Hi greenginger,
Really sorry about that, though I suspect the best we could do would be to warn about the delay taking direct debit payments on the payment redirect page - I'm afraid we can't change our billing policy, which is a 14 day grace period before anything on the account is disabled.
We'll sort the payment redirect page wording out as soon as we can.

Re: Grrrrr!

Thanks for the reply Matt.
Yes, the wording needs to change. As it stands the message is: "to avoid restrictions pay up", then "how would you like to pay, card or DD?". There is no warning that the DD might still take you into restrictions.
I don't think you should change the billing policy - it's generally fair enough.
I do think it needs to be clearer.
I don't appreciate being caught out on a "technicality" so I would appreciate the goodwill gesture of switching me back on.

Re: Grrrrr!

Don't be a tool Peter, it has nothing to do with the banking system and everything to do with a method of payment being offered and accepted but to no effect.

Re: Grrrrr!

You are. The word is impecunity not "inpecunity" and it implies hardship. Do you find hardship funny? Simultaneously, illiterate and callous.
