Remember, BT are doing this because it makes business sense for them.
They want as many bills as possible to be paid by DD, and the only
reason they want that is that it is cheaper for them overall.

Bollocks!

By which you mean "Obviously correct".

No, "Bollocks!" when used as an expletive does not mean "correct" in
any possible situation.

In which case, you were purely wrong :-)


The only reason is that they can make more obcene profit
through devious means. Devious, because it cannot possibly cost £4.50
to process one non-DD payment. By the way, another word for devious,
which the banks are learning, is "fraudulent".


Sorry, I forgot how paranoid you are.

Someone has to be. You on the other hand must be a very easy person to
con, as you are so trusting of everything and everybody.

And you have some evidence of that?

What if I
told you your garden gnomes had escaped?


Then I would *know* you are crazy.

They were eaten by a dragon last week, so how could they escape?


If that were true,then they would be charging everybody extra, rather
than only charging the minority of their customers who do not pay by
the preferred method.

No, because they could hardly ask DD payers to pay a penalty for
paying through DD...

Of course thy could.

Or they could just have put up the price across the board.

they would not have put the price up just for a minority of their
customers, while giving them an easy way to avoid the rise, if their
main aim was to increase the amount people pay.
