well done HBC in finding yet another problem for poorer folk to contend with
i pay cash over the counter and point blank refuse to set up any kind of direct debit with HBC as they have cost me a lot of money in the past

Why would they take it before the pre-arranged date? 
Even if they did do this and you were charged as a result I'm pretty sure that if you were to provide evidence that you had incurred a fee the council would re-imburse you if it was their fault.
