Want to change billing date but computer says no

My billing date for phone and broadband is the 6th of the month, with payment being taken around the 20th, which has been fine up until now. However my employer has now changed my salary payment date and I'd like to change the bolling date so that the payment isn't taken until after the 1st.
Firstly, why is it seemingly impossible to email anyone to ask about this? All the "contact us" links just take you back to a phone number and I'm at work during the non-automated times so it's not easy for me to make a call.
Anyway, make a call I did, spoke to somebody in the call centre, tried explaining the situation, but they only seemed to hear the "change billing date" part and didn't seem the least bit interested in the whys and wherefores, then it was just a case of "computer says no, is there anything else I can help you with"
I can't see why this is such a big problem. It's not like I'm asking not to pay or anything, I know that the first bill after I changed dates would be higher, because it would cover an extra couple of weeks, but I don't see why it's beyond the realms of possibility to put the bill date a couple of weeks.
I managed it with my mortgage, which is considerably higher than my BT bill
A quick email to the mortgage company, had a letter back a couple of days later confirming the payment date had been changed and the first payment on the new date would be an extra £xxx to cover the difference, all sorted no problem. Why do BT make things so difficult?
Solved!

Try as I might, there seemed to be absolutely no option to change "whole bill direct debit" so I can't quite see how you can do it online, the only option I could see was to set up a DD, but I've already got one.
Anyway, all sorted now, thanks to a 5 minute online chat. I'm now swtiched to a MPP, which is for give or take a few pence, exactly the same as my monthly bills have been and instead of my next payment being taken on the 20th of this month, it's now going to be taken on the 2nd of next month and every month thereafter, which is exactly what I wanted to do.
Quite what the difference between whole bill monthly and MPP, I'm not quite sure but it's sorted

  • Want to change picture dates

    I recently bought a new camera but foolishly did not set the date/time. I have now set this function but alot of my photo's dates are off. I want to change the date/time, but I don't think I want to do a "batch date change" because I want all the date/times to be accurate. What I want to do is simply select all of the messed up photo's and shift the time forward the same amount for all the photos. I saw a post from a guy who said he did exactly what I'm describing except he didn't explain properly, that or his version of iphoto works different then mine. I am using version 6.0.6.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Since this is the iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x) discussion you will find that many things work differently (like adjust date & tiem did not exist in iPhoto 6). It would be best to post your questions in teh forum that relates to your software.
    iPhoto '08 does EXACTLY what you want with the new adjust time & date feature so an upgrade to iLife '08 would be another solution to your date adjustment desire.

    I want to change my store and it says that I have a 0.11$ credit and should spend it how before changing stores how can I do it?

    You can use your remaining store credit by purchasing an item, and paying the extra amount using a credit card, debit card, or if your country's store supports it, your PayPal or Click&Buy account.
    I you don't have an alternate payment method you can provide, then you will need to contact iTunes Store Customer Support via http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • How to change billing date in S1 - cancellation billing document

    Dear Friends,
    Could you please tell How to change billing date in S1 - cancellation billing document which is even not released to accounting & in gray mode.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ranjan

    Dear,
    Thanks for asking exact problem.
    1. PGI in 2008
    2. F2 Billing date in 2003 ( By mistake by the user)
    3. S1 Billing date in 2008
    4. PGI reverse in 2008 & OBD deleted in 2008
    So reduced billing qty is shown in report in 2008 because of S1 Billing date in 2008,
    Billing qty  is not matching with the actual PGI quantity.
    So here if the cancellation billing document S1 could be changed for billing date in 2008, then you could balance it
    Now my issue is how to balance it.
    hope you find it it very interesting
    Awaiting your response.

    I want to change my ID but I can't.i go to my iPad store and sign in my new ID but don't accept

    I find that the  easiest way to change the account you are using on your mobile device is to scroll down to the bottom of the iTunes Store or App Store on the device and tap the Apple ID button. Then:
    - To sign out, or to sign in to a different account, tap the Sign Out button.
    - To sign back in, tap the Sign In button, then tap either Use Existing Apple ID or Create New Apple ID, and follow the on-screen instructions from there. I hope this helps.

  • I want to change my password but the system is not sending me message to reset my password. pls help someone is using my password without my permission and i want to change my password.

    i want to change my password but the system is not sending me message to reset my password. pls help someone is using my password without my permission and i want to change my password.

    If you are talking about your Apple ID password, make sure it IS your apple ID.
    In the past 24 hours, I have received two emails "How to reset your Apple ID password". I  had not requested any change and I finally realized someone else is trying to reset the password. I have had this Apple ID since 2009 so I am not using someone else's ID.
    Again, if you are not receiving the email to reset make sure you have the right ID - it might be going to the email linked to the account, and it might not be yours.

  • HT5312 Hello, i want to change my password but i don't remind my security questions

    Hello, i want to change my password but i don't remind my security questions
    Can you help me please

    The HT5312 page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset your security questions i.e. if you have a rescue email address on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says i need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can i do

    hey i broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th Gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says I need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can I do.

    You can't backup the iPod t iTunes then. You will have to use an existing iTunes backup.
    If iCloud backup is turned on and the iPod is still working (not disabled), the iPod will automatically backup daily if an internet connection is available and the iPod is connected to a charging source.
