I would not give them anything. Why would you want to give someone your bank account number.
I have had the same issues with other companies. They want my CC number and want me to pay monthly that way. I simply say no. There is no way that I will give them my cc number. No way am I going to let them take their monthly fee straight from me. Once done, they have my money and if I have a problem with the bill them I have to fight them and bring the cc company into it to get thing straight. If they send you the bill you can approve or disapprove of it prior to sending money. If there is a problem I send only the amount that I feel is correct and enclose a notice why there is not a full payment. I call them before I send it and let them know often it is corrected at that time (like the time AT&T was charging me tax for a city I did not live in. Man was that a nasty one). They do it so they do not have to fight for payment they want you to fight knowing that many will not fight it. Many have told me that I can not sign up for their service without a cc. My answer is simple "good bye, I do not do that, and I can live without your service or goods"
I never let anybody have access to my money, accounts and etc. I initiate payments. I do not trust anybody. I also know that people make mistakes and I do not want to take months and more money to get my money back.
On the way to Hollister this year my credit card stopped working. I call the bank and asked what was up. They said a gas pump flagged it. We called the cc company and they said a gas pump flagged it and that there had been several gas purchases on it. My wife said yea we are on a trip and we always buy gas at these stations and listed each gas purchases and the cc company said guess that they are yours. My wife said don't do this again to us we do not like it at all.
