Fixed Direct debit - Its awful
I moved to British Gas because the comparison sites said this was the cheapest for me. This was using a direct debit payment system which i thought would be ok until they started using it.

EON increases monthly Direct Debit by 40%
I received a letter today informing me that EON would be increasing my monthly direct debit from £33 to £46 a month, an increase of nearly 40%.
