Anyone? Just from what I can see £1.50 is high average on this (I checked at work when it was slow
). In fact it seems odd that a 50p a month (12.5p a week) addition can be such a huge deal. I mean guys get a grip. Look around you, yeah its crappy that they feel the need to add it on, but next to £3 and £5 a month its nothing! Some people on this forum seem to put it on a level with global walming, genocide and the poor state of medical research in the UK.
I don't see why people who pay by cash or cheque on time should be charged any extra as they don't impose any extra admin costs and certainly not the level of admin costs that are being charged here, whatever may be current bank fees for handling cash and cheques. And why should the poorest members of society be penalised just for not having a bank account if they always pay up on time?
It should only be the cash payers who use it is an excuse to not pay at all or weeks or months late who should be hit with the penalty fees to make sure they have every possible incentive to pay up on time.
Your excuse seems to be that other firms also have this rip too so that makes it all right for BT to do it too. But wasn't that how the whole disgusting con based 084/7 calls industry came into being?
