Re: Barmy Bureaucrats throwing away our cash
I don't think HBC can refuse to accept payment in cash, just so long as it is in legal tender (i.e. you can't give it to them in pennies, more's the pity). There is no law yet that says you have to have a bank account, and therefore they cannot refuse cash.
It is probably a job creation scheme - you have one employee to send out the direct debits, one employee to file them, one employee to ignore them, and four employees to send out threatening messages and Summonses.
