chiefie: They should electronically scan the document (as it is an official document by the way) and stored it on their fileserver/database with respective customer id attached to it for fast retrieval.

Anyhow, I don't do Direct Debt, don't trust it, I'd much rather set the bill payment as the bill notice arrived.



Better yet scan it yourself, and email... They need another copy,no probs!

Scanned or faxed DD forms are not acceptable to banks.

They claimed that anyone could photoshop it and they needed to keep a real signed copy incase there was any dispute. They still had no answer about how it mattered since the company that keeps the real copy has no idea what my signature looks like inorder to authenticate that its real or not, and past experiance has shown that banks dont give a crap what you put for a signature.

All up its very insecure IMO. Thankfully banks have been good to sort it out the 2 times I have had direct debits go wrong.
