I agree with everything said. I use gocardless, and have done for a while now. All but 2 monthly clients are paying by this method now. I also accept cards, but no longer accept cheques and would rather not bother with cash either.
GoCardless is a good tool, but the way to get people paying is to offer a range of payment methods.
Ditto on this, started using GoCardless last few weeks, integrates perfectly with Kashflow and any client who sets it up its a simple case of I invoice them, 4 days later the money lands in my account... seemless! Great tool, and i'll now try getting all my clients on it, especailly the new ones!
