Power supplier payment shenanigans.

[User6179]

My mate has not had a gas bill for over a year, he told me yesterday he had phoned up to complain, I pointed out that you cant be back billed more than 12 months, he is now wishing he had not phoned up to complain

Yes but, are you paying extra for the privilege? Many companies reserve their best deals for customers that pay by DD.

Apparently I could 'save' up to £32 a year by changing to DD, which, going by various numbers quoted on here, will be more expensive in terms of money 'actually' leaving my account.

But you can always get that credit back while that £32 a year (every year remember) is gone for good. I would rather be in credit a bit than pay £32 extra every year.

Obviously being £500 in credit is getting a bit silly but at least I am earning bank beating interest...….

I'm with Twottish Power, don't get stung any extra for not paying DD.
