Gas & Electricity

That’s from my Jan to March bill. Electric cooker, gas hob with Octopus. They are hooked into a smart meter somehow but I haven’t got a display so no idea what’s sucking it all up. Monthly electric is averaging about 320 kWh.

I was forced to switch from Bulb to Octopus. Since being with Octopus my "usage" has somehow rocketed so much that they are now doubling my DD. That's fine and I can handle it but considering I never used even half of the DD with Bulb then it's quadrupled. At least.

Perhaps that’s why Bulb went bust…
 
I’ve just had a letter from British Gas informing me my direct debit is goi long from £160 per month to £540. Still in shock
 
Just stop the direct debits and pay quarterly, I got fed up of calling to tell them to take it back down. Try and get your credit refunded also.
It's a cash grab by them to sit on millions of other people's money.
If enough people stop the DD payment method and move to quarterly, they will have to change their business models and you will only pay for what you use.
 
The discount is tiny, also factor in they are holding your money you will struggle to get it back even if you are massively in credit time spent on the phone to sort out the ridiculous uptick in direct debits, they wanted 300 a month off us a couple of years back. My last waurterly bill was 360
