    The agreement on a Direct Debit is between you and the people you pay the money to. The payee is the organisation that you give permission to, to take money from your account. To cancel a Direct Debit you need to tell that organisation that you no longer want them to take the money, the bank are legally obliged to pay it, you have entered into a legal agreement. It would be different if it's a Standing Order, that is paid on your instructions.

    I wanted to get a pass for me and my lad next season, which was to be his first season. The way I read it is that he would not be eligible for concession, as there is none. As we are not existing pass holders, no discounts. So only way we can join, is to get two adult tickets. I could be wrong, but that is the way it reads to me..

    Thats what I thought but you become a debtor of Hull City and its down to what action they take which for the amounts involved is probably nothing.

    The timing from the Allams is amazing again.
    On one hand I am reading in the YP that Bruce wants the fans to get behind the team then listening to all the disenchanted fans on RH today. Some of them were even pro Allam and name change. Some with 40 to 50 years of support. Great loyalty scheme!!!!

    Make sure you inform the person or company in receipt of the payment before you cancel it, as you could incur fees or penalties for non-payment.

    Also, it's worth checking the terms and conditions of the business that you're dealing with, just in case you're still within the fixed term period of the contract, or in case a notice period has to be given.

    Under this scheme, the club can charge you a £25 fee if you miss a payment and your bank can charge you another £25 for any direct debit payment you set up that doesn't have the funds to cover it.

    The replies seem to have morphed from "it can't be done" to various bits beyond.

    I've done it a few times when I've believed I had good cause to, and never had any repercussions. I've never found the banks remotely interested in getting involved, but there's always the risk that the club would pursue it.

    I guess it's a case of how and why you do it, and having your justifications ready.

    If supporters cancel the direct debit they may well have a counter claim against the club if they have paid for matches in advance and their card is cancelled.

    They're not paying for matches, they're paying for a monthly membership.

    Not according to the contract, you are paying for attendance at a football match.

    So members get games for free? What do those in the higher categories get as members over the free games?

    There's no wonder the Terms & Conditions suggest you should consult a solicitor before signing the agreement.

    This threads drifted into a load of irrelevant nonsense. If you don't want to join, you won't join, you'd have to be a complete cockwomble to sign up and then cancel when you might or might not still have to pay and you could potentially incur additional fees.

    I'd say they're quite relevant to people weighing up their options and exploring the scheme. And it certainly doesn't make them a 'cockwomble' no matter what that's supposed to mean.

    Some people move away, others have their overdraft facilities shut down, others lose their jobs, there are many reasons why people cancel direct debits.

    I'm sure there are, but what's being discussed is signing up for this scheme with a view to cancelling it, that's not to do with circumstance, it's just being daft.

    No it isn't.

    It was a general discussion on the scheme, including the process for cancelling.

    It's not "daft" to fully consider the ins and outs, given the recent history with the club.

    I agree that the club have been daft. A supporters group with its members holding thousands of direct debits has a significant amount of financial power if the club is still in the championship and seeing its parachute payments reduced year on year.

    Obviously, but the best way to exercise that power is surely by not signing up in the first place?
