Direct Debit Agreements - Decoding the Fine Print - What really Does it Mean?

[HarveySamir]

Travelbug - I'm striving to realize direct debit agreements and how they work with my bank. It feels a bit like reading a agreement, but truly, just what exactly are I getting charged for? Are there any concealed clauses or fees that aren't forthwith obvious?

Moneymatters - I've been studying articles about direct debit agreements and it looks like there's a lot of jargon. It's confusing! Can you give m'a simplified explanation of the different sorts of direct debit agreements, like those linked to cards or particular accounts?

Savingsmind - My biggest concern is overdraft security related to direct debits. I want to know if the bank actually delivers a robust and reliable overdraft security system, or is it more of a 'buffer' that's easily overwhelmed? What happens if my account is overdrawn?

Taxawareness - I've heard on potential penalties for late payments on direct debits, but I'm not sure truly how those work. Could you outline the possible consequences of failing to meet a award deadline? Is there any way to mitigate those risks?
