Yes I am with finans, and was made aware that there is a small charge for these transactions. We are only over several times a year so in our case it's well worth it, much better than arriving to your apartment and finding your electricity cut off.  ;)  ;)

I thought hat if you had 2 direct debits it was free, I haven't noticed any charges on our account.

I have 2 DD's as well, having only just set them up in July I have as yet not been charged for the service. Hope it stays that way.  ;D ;D
