We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to To make it illegal for companies to impose an administration charge if not wishing to pay Via Direct Debit. More details
Submitted by Kevin McIver – Deadline to sign up by: 04 January 2008 – Signatures: 211
I wish to raise this petition for the government to make it illegal for companies such as Sky TV to charge customers a £4 monthly administration charge if you do not wish to pay by Direct Debit. Some people do not have a bank/building society account or they either dont have a direct debit facility on thier account, i believe the charge to be unfair and is wholly un-jusitified. This has become law in Southern Ireland and i would like the UK Government to consider making it illegal.
