Quote from: nadger Obviously I'm a strong advocate of paying by DD but I fail to see why anyone should want to continue paying by debit card as it still comes straight from ones current account and provides one with none of the guarantees.
'Once bitten twice shy' - as the saying goes..........I've seen where a family members DD has gone wrong, cost hundreds, and months to sort out, and yes you have the DD guarantee, but that doesn't solve the problems it creates in the first place. They did swap banks at the end of it all, but the hassle and stress is caused can never be compensated........
....don’t forget there are still some people who don’t like using chip & pin still and are just getting on with a debit card. Some accounts for low income families means you can’t have direct debits and you get a very restricted debit card. It is down to the individual, and it is a shame Plusnet can’t do it on a case by case basis, ie. Someone who has paid via CC or DC for 12 months or more can lose the £1.50 fee – anyone new pays it.
I think it’s going to be just one of those things, some demonic android at BT decided that a £1.50 fee will be brought in, and that’s it...........just wait till Plusnet start charging for their customer services, and bring in a premium rate number for 3rd party issues, as well as increasing line rental and call charges! If something makes a decision that’s it...........mwuahahaha

That's the way of this whole country though, isn't it?
Why penalise the few when you can use it as an excuse to punish everyone?
I've seen that in government, law making, employment... it's the British way!

Quote from: _Adam_Walker_ Hi all,
This isn't really mentioned in our history page on the portal at the moment: http://www.plus.net/residential/about_us.shtml but just to clarify we we are owned by BT Retail and do operate as a separate company.
And it clearly isn't just because that page hasn't been updated for a long time, since it already mentions "won't be beat" slogan. It is almost like you are still embarrassed to be linked to BT Retail...? (or worried it will put the punters off if they know the truth?)
Does someone need to get a red pen out and do some editing?
I guess you are still a unique legal entity (Are you still "Plusnet plc"?) which is distinct and separate, so there is no need to declare who owns you, in the same way you don't list all the shareholders on the website...
