  • They know what I have used, bill me accordingly.

    But then they don't know when they are gonna get teh monies.

    phone, pay TV, credit cards, etc.

    I'm not sure a gas / leccy provider can shut down the pipe if you don't pay, unlike mobile, tv providers etc.

    OK, they can, but it's a last resort thing.

  • But then they don't know when they are gonna get teh monies.

    They have my DD info so that argument falls flat.

    Make it a condition of signing up. I recognise that not all people will be happy with that arrangement but I am. I have yet to leave a property where the utility does not owe me money. Often in excess of £500. So their estimates are shit - even when you constantly update them with readings. Fuck that. I am not a bank and I am not lending them money.

  • Aroogah for prez

  • Who are you with? Just change supplier, I've never been with a supplier who automatically increases DD payments, how you could ever be over £500 in credit is beyond me.

    Ah sorry I thought you meant 'scrap the DD, just send an accurate bill'

    Don't pay by DD then - they love that :)

    I'd guess that overcharging is structural to them - they gamble with the whatever overpayments to make moar dorrah so they can get more helicopters I mean supply cheaper product. pisses me off no end, too, mostly because when you do move getting the final balance sorted out is always a massive headache.

  • have you looked at Tonik, they give you 3% interest on in credit balances
