See my post above. It seems like the government have changed their policy ( being convinced to change it ££££ ) to allow companies to claim the money directly and knock it off your bill.

Grafting at the moment but just logged on to our account and Octopus said our D.D payment for 1st October will be £83. We normally pay £150.

Did anyone get this yet?

Don't know if posted since but it looks like nobody has:-

EDF email states the rebate will be paid into the bank account the direct debit comes from and I don’t need to do anything.

Seems stupid. Just take £66/£67 less each month for the duration surely?

I'm with EDF myself and I prefer it paid directly back into the bank TBH.

I’m with Sainsbury/E.on and just had an email saying that they are reducing my payment next month by £66.

Wise move, but how shit is it that in the uk in 2022 this is happening. Fuck the tories

It’s ok, those above 150k will have the biggest tax breaks - I’m sure that will trickle down and we’ll be able to shower and not worry about using the dish washer soon enough

That isn’t right. Well, as far as I understand it, itisn’t. The government website states you will get the money paid directly into your bank account shortly after your next six payments go out. I know it doesn’t really make much difference in practice but that money is a rebate for you to do with what you want. Not for the company to decide they’re going to intercept it to make sure you pay them.

EON have done the same to my bill putting the rebate on my bill to reduce the amount I pay.

My wife suffers terrible sinusitus - cold air = intense headaches, so we had to use the heating a lot this weekend.

Total energy bill for Sunday = £10.96.

Ah that must be awful for her
Jeez that’s a lot - ours was over £4 and we didn’t even use the gas

We are thinking of wearing hat and gloves in the bedroom WE WILL NOT BURN ENERGY With a will of steel seeing how long we can stick it. (It’s freezing!)
The grown up children usually come round for a warm but that’s it we will visit them instead

Will City lower season ticket prices - in a gesture of acknowledgement of the financial crisis?
If they don't I think we can expect thousands of empty seats - next season.

Go without food, it's the only way. Blueboys top priority.

That’s as likely as food becoming free in supermarkets.

Ours hasn't gone on yet. It was 14.9c in the kitchen this morning.

Just off to the Solicitor’s to do our will, due to inflation and energy bills I’m guessing in 10 years time we will have ripped through our retirement fund which was meant to last 15 years when we would have used equity release if we’re both still here. Depressing situation, shares also down 40% on last years figures to make matters worse.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

They’ve changed the wording on the government website. A few weeks ago it said:

Now it says:

Probably had pressure off some of the companies saying they want the money direct in case people renege on their DD but then still get the rebate.

Not my recollection. From the get go it was up to companies how they paid it.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Octopus have reduced my DD by £66 a month.
I have put it back to my regular £100 a month.
I will use the handout to build up a reserve.

That maniac Putin is sabotaging the gas pipe now to cause leaks and waste it. Worlds biggest ****

Whatever floats your boat.
