Pay by direct debit
If you have several outgoings each month, it can sometimes be impossible to keep a track of what bill is due and when. If you set everything up to be paid automatically by direct debit you can relax knowing you won’t be incurring any late payment charges. Also many companies offer discounts to direct debit customers as it reduces admin costs for them.
