How do you want to pay your bills? Help

There are various methods to pay your energy bills:

Monthly Direct Debit:

The cheapest way in which to pay an energy
account. The supplier will calculate a monthly
figure that will be taken from your bank account
on the same date every month. This figure is
calculated so that you are paying for your
estimated energy spend equally over a 12 month
period.

Quarterly Direct Debit:

This is sometimes called variable direct debit.
The supplier will send you a bill each quarter
and within a period (usually 10 - 14 days) this
will be automatically deducted from your bank
account.

Quarterly Cash/Cheque:

The supplier will send you a bill each quarter
and within a period (usually 10 - 14 days) you
will be expected to pay this by cash or cheque,
either directly to the supplier or at a bank or
post-office. Often suppliers will offer prompt
payment discounts on these type of payments.

Prepayment Meter:

If you wish to pay in advance for your energy
then you can have a prepayment meter fitted. In
order to buy gas or electricity you'll be given
a payment card or key, which can be topped up at
a designated payment agent. Prepayment tariffs
are generally more expensive than other payment
methods.
