Sorry about that. I'll try and amend it. Don't see how it matters though.
Maebee you haven't deleted the name of the rental agency.
Yes, direct debits are initiated by the business - in your case, the electricity or gas company. You cannot set up a direct debit with another individual.I am not a business but I have direct debits set up to come out of my account for electricity, gas etc.

Standing orders are 'push' transactions - the money is pushed from the sender to the reciever. Direct debits are 'pull' transactions - the money is pulled by the reciever from the sender, it is initiated by the sender. Direct debits can be for variable amounts (e.g. an ESB bill). Standing orders generally stay the same.Hi Complainer, Son No. 2 pays me his car insurance every month, from his a/c to mine. I always thought this was a direct debit. Maybe it's a Standing order. It appears on my statement as a CT (Credit Transfer, I presume).
Well put, Complainer. It is something that many people mix up, whether a payment is a standing order or a direct debit. While they are both methods of automated payment, it is important to know the difference when you are dealing with direct debits, should you need to rely, at any stage,on the rules of the originator scheme, -as mentioned in earlier posts.Standing orders are 'push' transactions - the money is pushed from the sender to the reciever.

So unless you send a message to your bank telling them how much to pull from your son's account, it is not a direct debit. It is a standing order.

or contact the bank , your son has set the dd up for the 1st. Therefore they might be willing to decline the dd as "not due" dd's have alot of rules around them.
Other thing is, depending on your sons circumtances... he may be paid early for Christmas so may have the money for the 23rd. I still think what the PA are doing is wrong.
The document you've posted quite clearly states the 1st of the month.
I've had a look at the website of that agent and you should have a look at what the website says under tenants point 9 (not good - for the future be warned) and point 12 should be pointed out to them in relation to their unreasonableness in expecting the rent on the 23rd. All this should in any case be clear from the lease. Do you have a copy of the lease?
