I'll take you anywhere the river of money flows.

[livejournal.com profile] redcountess and I are looking to use payment by direct debit to save a small amount of cash. I have serious qualms about both the concept and execution, having heard far too many tales of merry fuckups. But [livejournal.com profile] arkady assures us that, for instance, TV Licensing are competent in this regard, and we already use direct debit for rent and Internet (because neither would let us pay any other way).

In particular: do BT, NPower and Waltham Forest council possess any competence whatsoever with direct debit? And we bank with NatWest, though we're considering switching to Citibank. I welcome your tales or pointers to tales. I realise that if there is a fuckup we'll win, but I can do without saving a few quid and paying in torn hair and wasted time to get there.
