    How did they manage to take money from your account without telling you?

    Don't forget Direct Debits are fully covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee, claims against which should be made direct to your bank.

    How did you think you were going to pay them for their energy you used?

    Never heard of the 30 day change of mind rights. Care to elaborate further please?
