Which monthly direct debit feels like the biggest waste of money?
We all have those subscriptions and standing orders that quietly drain our accounts each month. Rank these common direct debits from biggest waste to most justified.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Streaming services you forgot about
Somehow you're paying for five platforms but only actually watching one. The free trial that turned into a three-year commitment.
B
Gym membership
You signed up in January with the best intentions. You've been twice since March, but cancelling feels like admitting defeat.
C
TV Licence
Whether you watch BBC iPlayer regularly or just occasionally catch the news, the licence fee remains a uniquely British source of debate.
D
Mobile phone contract
That 24-month contract ended ages ago, but you're still being charged the full whack. SIM-only deals exist for a reason.
E
Energy bill direct debit
After the price cap drama and standing charges that keep climbing, even efficient households feel they're paying through the nose.
