DD vs qly bills

Luisa1981

Hiya,

I'm considering switching to paying utilities via DD instead of on bill.

I don't know though, which is the most cost-effective.

Does anyone have any views?

Thanks!

DD is (almost always) cheaper, but get a monthly payment plan so it's the same every month and no nasty shocks.

Most (though not all) of the cheapest online discount tariffs require fixed monthly DD payment, so if you insist on quarterly billing you are potentially paying for a more expensive tariff.
Quarterly billing of course gives you a longer period of credit-that's about the only benefit.
