I will be closing my Sabadell account next week. Watch this space to see how smoothly that goes! :-)
To change my direct debits I dropped Iberdrola, Agamed and Urbagest an email each, asking them to change my direct debit to Starling (my Euro account).
Iberdrola confirmed completed very quickly.
Agamed was a much less slick process for me as I couldnt do anything on their website. Eventually they made the change for me and I now just have to email them a scan of my completed SEPA transfer form (which they emailed to me, as I couldnt access it from their website).
Unfortunately Urbagest Torrevieja are only able to accept Spanish bank account direct debits, so I have tested a 10€ bank transfer to them successfully, and now will pay all of 2020 costs upfront by bank transfer (they provided their IBAN and reference details etc), to save me having to think about it again until 2021.
That leaves IBI - for which Ive not yet had my first bill .. but at worst will do a bank transfer if direct debit not possible.
In the meantime I have blocked all direct debits from my Sabadell account.
I shall be an extremely happy bunny to be free of the Sabadell headache i have suffered since being introduced to them :-).
