Registration worked fine for me but I was unable to set up DD payment even after entering all details correctly and using an account that already supports many DDs/SOs. That's what my fuss is about anyway.I registered and paid earlier with no issues. I found the instructions to be clear and the process took less than 3 minutes to complete. I don't know what the fuss is about!
Speculative Bronte. We don't know what it will be, we do know what it is and the penalty far outweighs any miniscule advantage to hanging onto €100 for three months. Even if it went to €1000 the interest it would attract in 3 months would be paltry
Interesting - well, at least to a geek like me!If you are interested - there is a formula for checking valid pps numbers -
"
In reverse order, each digit is multiplied by a weight, 2, 3, and so on until the first digit is multiplied by 8. Add up each result. Divide by 23 and the remainder (modulus 23) will indicate the character position on the alphabet.
Thus the PPS number 1234567 will be calculated as the sum of 7*2, 6*3, 5*4, 4*5, 3*6, 2*7 and 1*8. This 112 when divided by 23 leaves a remainder of 20. The twentieth letter of the English alphabet is 'T'. The correct PPS number is therefore 1234567T. Where the remainder is zero, the check letter is W"
Very interesting about how to create PPSN numbers. Why on earth are people putting false one's when they make the household charge payment?
pconsidine seems to be the only one here who tried to put in a fake PPSN and just did so as a test rather than based on any obvious paranoia...

To Pugwall:
The fuss will be next year - or in a few years time when you have retired and the tax is the equivalent of €1,000. They will have your PPSN and will be able to extract it directly from your IR€1,000,000 pw (approx D€15) pension if you haven't paid by the due date.
I think this is probably a difference of interpretation. As I read it the charge is due now and there is a grace period of three months to pay it. As a rule I pay when the bill arrives I don't wait for the last minute as I am liable to and have in the past forgotten bills. Not likely with this one but easier to be consistentIt is far preferable to have payments in my deposit account rather than paying all bills 3 months in advance, I don't know anybody who does that other then apparently loads of people on AAM. Do you all regularly pay your bills 3 months or more in advance?
In relation to the PPSN number, in the future when revenue start collecting the late payment charges it will be easy for them to see who has or hasn't paid with the PPSN number. And revenue will not be bothering to do this for a few years when the penalties will be massive. In addition on death no doubt there will be a rule that before an estate is disposed of that this charge has been paid, cross check with the PPSN number and hey presto tax windfall for revenue. All very good reasons to pay the tax.
In relation to the actual computer system for paying, no doubt towards the end of March the system will collapse and the deadline for payment will be pushed out.
Not necessarily - depends on the fee structure that applies to your account. I have certainly never paid for DD/SO setups. See here for example or your own bank's schedule of fees booklet for your account:Those paying by d/d should be aware that their Bank will charge a fee for setting up the direct debit...
They called me this evening to say that there was a bug in their system whereby it was not accepting some or all PTSB account details for DD purposes. They have fixed it now.Registration worked fine for me but I was unable to set up DD payment even after entering all details correctly and using an account that already supports many DDs/SOs. That's what my fuss is about anyway.
