Why has my Direct Debit changed?

We try to average out the amount you're paying each month over a 12-month period. But some things can affect those payments and, if they do, then we'll adjust your Direct Debit accordingly. 

For example:

• You may simply be using more or less energy than we expected due to a change in your circumstances.

• You may have a large credit or debit from the previous period, which we've carried over.

• Your bills may have been estimated. If you want to find out if your bill has been estimated you can look at your bill and see if there is an ‘E’ beside the meter reading. When we obtain actual meter readings, we can see exactly how much energy you're using. If we’re unable to obtain an actual meter reading, we'll estimate how much energy you're using.
