OT - Experian - subscribe online, can't cancel online

Cheeky but you just unilaterally cancel that one as well, IIRC they have to write to you giving you the information about the new DD. They really don't have a foot to stand on using a DD authorisation dated pre the cancelation.

I find that unilaterally cancelling a DD grabs a companies attention very quickly, almost like grabbing 'em by the short and curlies.

We use a bill consolidation service (Moneyway), who require express consent of the account holder to make any changes to the DDs on the account. It's a nice buffer to have between ourselves and providers.

Interesting - shall look into that - ta.

Isn`t a great wheeze , selling people their own data, on subscription.

You can put in a statutory request for =A32 , it dosen`t have the whizzy graphics, but gives you an idea how inaccurate the data Experian hold may be.

To follow up, the telephone cancellation wasn't too bad. There's a bit of a run-around "can we interest you in our other products are services?" type guff - but probably only about 2 minutes total call time.

Never had a problem with Admiral.

They send a reminder of the impending auto-renewal.

I shop around.

Admiral are invariably still the best deal.

It get's renewed automatically.

Job done.

Oh nasty! Thanks for the info. - I hadn't realised that.

What I'd really like to do is have a problem with a DD to a big organisation

- SAGA would do - that has tens of thousands of DDs then get the licence suspended. That'd sort the abstrads out!

Pizza Hut ask you to agree to their Ts&Cs before ordering.

I phoned instead.
