Impressed with British Gas for FiT application

I called British Gas earlier to see if they offered a check upon drop off of FiT application service. They did so I nipped into Manchester with it.
Within 10 mins I was on my way out after having the application form checked. 30 minutes later I arrived home to an email from British Gas with their terms and conditions to sign and post back off along with a document detailing my FiT eligibility date of today which I promptly printed, signed and posted.

After hearing of people waiting months I feared making a mistake. Glad I went with British Gas!

Out of interest, do British Gas request quarterly meter readings and offer payment quarterly too? Is it by cheque as I've not given any bank details?

    Fish?

    Seriously though, late payments won't bother me as they'll come at some point and all be placed into a dedicated savings account.

    So I'll nominate an account at the time of the first reading? As I said, I've not seen anything regarding account details yet.
