Friends, According to their most recently published annual accounts, "BT Payment Processing Limited" made a NET PROFIT over 41 MILLION POUNDS for the year ending 31 March 2009. That's AFTER expenses. Robbery!! Their gross income from the payment processing fee was over £100 MILLION POUNDS. That works out to an average of over 5.5 MILLION customers (£4.50 x 4 per bills per year) who are getting zapped every year by this con. Remember, this is separate from the £7.50 late payment charge. You can download the accounts from http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ for one pound (yes, just £1) Imagine going to the supermarket for your weekly family shop of around £100 (amount like your quarterly phone bill), week in week out, year in year out. Suddenly, the shopkeeper says: "Unless you give me your bank details so I can take money from your account in advance, as I please, I'm going to charge you £4.50 for the pleasure of taking your cash." Crazy. Let's keep fighting this ridiculous charge. Write to your MP! Write to the press!
