But it is quite easy for them to justiify the charges. Taken from a post I made before on the subject.:
Taken from paypoints website:
What commission do you pay?
PayPoint agents earn variable commission rates from 0.5% to 45% per transaction. We will give you more details with your application

If a customers bill is £100 and paypoint take a cut of 5% then it's quite easy for them to justify the £5 charge. Are you saying that because someone wants to pay by this method the extra cost should be passed on to all of us, Do you think thats fair on the people that do pay by DD.

What about all these companies that give a discount for paying by direct debit. Are you claiming this is illegal as well because it basically amounts to the same thing. Also if this is the case why did Telewest go to the trouble of changing from a discount to a charge a few years ago. All they would need to do is put everyones prices up by £5 and then start offering a £5 discount to the people that pay by DD again.
