I get charged an extra £1-50 a month for paying by credit card. From midnight tonight, there should be a limit imposed to nothing beyond the 'actual cost' by the commencement of the Consumer Rights (Payments Surcharge) Regulations. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/consumer-protection-payment-surcharges-regulations-2012-g... The BBC is reporting that this should be pennies for a debit card and no more than 2% of the value of the transaction for a credit card. How is Plusnet responding to this ?
The official Plusnet response will be that the £1.50 IS NOT a "credit card surcharge", but a "non Direct Debit surcharge" to cover the cost of chasing non payment by methods other than direct debit.
