they usually give me a month free when it goes down
There is no such thing as a direct debit on a credit card. Its called a recurring payment and is not covered by the standard direct debit rules.set up a direct debit to your credit card. If you don't have one, I'm afraid its going to be a case of either opening that current account or foregoing €3.75 for not doing it.
How do I get by this charge without opening a current account?
UPC are going to charge me €3.75 / month from August for the privilege of paying them as I don't have a DD with them.
I use an Ulster bank deposit account with an ATM card for my banking so I can't set up a DD from Ulster.
I don't want to open a current account just to pay UPC.
For the last 5 years i just payed them by standing order. I also don't want to set up a DD as UPC goes down and because I control when they are paid they usually give me a month free when it goes down

I was thinking about dropping UPC and going down this road, particularly after their recent fee increase. Did you get someone to install the dish and receiver? Did you go for multi-room?Maurice have you considered installing a free to air satellite dish and receiver,I was a UPC customer up until recently, there's a one off cost that will repay itself over a year and a bit and from that point on you are less one bill.
You still get RTEs TV3 BBCs 1-4 ITV1-4 Ch4 SKY news CH5 etc and most of the same channels you got with UPCs basic package.

Thanks - very helpful, Knuttell. Are you based in Dublin? I see that crowd seem to have different agents around the country.
