Direct Debit Mandate

Hi-

I have a similar but different problem- every year I pay by cheque at a reserve when my sub is due- then every year about 3 months later the Lodge sends a request saying I havent paid-

Hi Wozo and welcome to the RSPB Froum.  Enjoy yourrself here

Dave and I paid by Direct debit for a couple of years and there seems to be problems for us with the monthly scene of things - bank D/D's shut down for whatever reason

Now we have paid the RSPB a yearly amount of money and we received an up to date book through the post - so that is a nice thing to happen.

Hope that you have your membership sorted sooner than later

Regards

Kathy and Dave

Hi Wozo and welcome to the forum from the Irish fraternity , I have the same problem here, I have to  return a form with the credit or debit card details on the form  via the post , very unsecured way,if we could pay by pay-pal or direct debit ,It would certainly be better for me , or even on-line using the same principal as booking airline tickets ect ,much more secure, I can't send a cheque as it's a thing of the past ,it really needs to be looked into , think this might be a long tread with varied points of view,

Regards Mick

We have paid by DD for years but for the last three or four years have had to write and ask for our cards to be sent through as they haven't arrived a month or so after they have expired. Talking to people at the reserves they have had the same problems with membership cards.

I've used DD for years with no problems and never had any renewal letters (except with another charity when I changed my bank account until the new DD was set up by the bank).  It goes out every month year on year with no problems.  My membership cards usually arrive well before the old ones have expired too.
