Quote I'm very sorry but we can't modify our billing system for one user
Quote from: giro If the amounts to be paid or the payment dates change PlusNet plc will notify you 3 working days in advance of your account being debited or as otherwise agreed.
this statement is obviously false
Quote from: Bob When paying by Direct Debit, the notification email is actually sent on the 4th, the request for payment is submitted to *our intermediary* and the funds *clear 3-4 days or so later*. Because the email is sent on the billing date our system /knows/ how much you're due to be billed for the month prior.
Quote from: giro then if any wrong payment amount is taken from my account by your 3rd party DD operator
I will issue papers against plusnet personally for its instant refund and any expenses incurred doing so
in the local county court without further warning

Quote @giro, I must admit to being a little confused about why you're so aggrieved by this situation?
Quote from: giro I repeat that if at anytime a wrong amount is taken from my bank
without allowing adequate time to cancel it
It will be treated as If a fraudulent payment has been taken from my account and i will pursue plusnet over the matter
in the county court

Quote That's your prerogative of course, but I maintain that we're not in breach of any banking regulations and was merely pointing out that it would be less hassle (and probably cheaper) for you to contact our helpdesk in the event of any problems with your billing (which at the moment are purely hypothetical).

Quote @giro I think you'll find that the default period for a DD notification is 10 working days unless a different period is specified by the supplier. There's no doubt that Plusnet specify clearly, on their website, a 3 day period so it's doubtful that you'd win in court.
