Re: Electricity Providers
Do people still have quarterly bills? I have paid by monthly DD for years .I can't quote a monthly figure, it wouldn't be accurate because it varies from £35 in the summer to £120 in the winter. I only have one source of energy here, electricity.I am with OVO energy and satisfied with the service.

Yes Meg darlin' I have quarterly bills for both Gas and Electricity. Its far more convenient and I never ever pay on an estimated account - will always read my own meters and give them accurate readings for them to send me a bill.

Re: Electricity Providers
Me too usually UJ. I submit it online, it gives me an instant amount and I then pay it online.I would never ever pay a monthly DD because it gives them carte blanche to take whatEVER they like from your account. There is no way I will let them do that. My mum did but it was always more than she used.

Re: Electricity Providers
I pay all my utility bills monthly by DD and I have no problems with it. I alwys get an explanation of the calculation, and If I disagree with the amount, I call them and we agree a figure.Anyway, I can't be bothered with having to remember to pay bills etc.. I keep an eye on my bank accounts and everything works OK.
I'm sure I could cut down a bit on fuel use, but I enjoy an element of comfort.

I submit meter readings once a month. I also get paid 3% on any credit in my account.

Of course if you do nothing after being notified, they will start deducting the new amount from your account.

Re: Electricity Providers
We too pay monthly by direct debit and submit our own meter readings.When we were told it was going up last year hubby 'phoned and re-negotiated the amount.
After reading the first post, hubby took readings and we went on line to check and submit them. We are in credit for both gas and electric but not too much
We are with Southern Electric.

Re: Electricity Providers
I wish my bills were that low ,I pay £120 per month duel fuel to Scottish Power, they did write recently to say my bills would be going up by quite a bit so I rang to ask why ,I then got another letter to say I was in credit by over £600, have now had another to say my payments are now staying the same as last year???
