Direct debit abuse

It depends. They are earning interest on money you have paid them. You could have earned a few pence out of paying by DD. Could have made a difference between having that holiday or going to work.

What is this word interest? Oh yes : I remember that from 2008.......

HSBC lets you create and cancel DD on line - no more forms to fill out and sign which is nice.

Not sure if the rest of the banks have followed suit...

Citibank also let you do that.

It's really a question of whether you trust the debiting organisation to always get their figures right.

I'd suggest with, say cable companies, that any trust would be a bit optimistic.
