I recently had to arrange an overdraft facility for my business account. To cut a long story short, a 2 month trial for a 12 month marketing campaign was so unresponsive I chose not to go ahead and not to start making the required monthly payments. So understandably I wasn’t too pleased when the first payment was taken from my account! (This was not a cheap campaign but would have paid for itself if effective.)

I have BT broadband for business and recently I found certain emails were not being delivered. I checked with my host, tried sending email from addresses in different hosting locations and had no luck. I could receive email from these people but not send it and I kept getting the same delivery error message.
