Sky charging for taking payment by debit card

A question about : Sky charging for taking payment by debit card

I am with sky having been forcibly migrated from BEUnlimited last year

I have just realised that they are charging me for taking my broadband payment by credit card when it is actually from my debit card.
I thought this practice (charging for debit card payment) had been outlawed.

Can anyone confirm this?

As it is, I am going to take them to task for creating a separate BB account when I was forced over (I am a Sky TV subscriber) and then charging me extra on that account for not being a Sky TV customer! They are supposed to have sorted that last year but I found today that they have not.

Thanks.
