Why should it be cheaper to pay by Direct Debit?
Comments

there are quite a lot of people especially 'Pensioners' out there who cannot adopt this system.
It is pertinent that the Direct Debit scheme was introduced over 45 years ago; so even a 90 year old would have been in his 40's and presumably not 'gaga'! See:

I appreciate not everyone had a bank account then, but virtually everyone has had a Bank or Post Office account for the past 20 years or more.
Just how many of these pensioners 'who cannot adopt this system' will pay several hundreds of pounds cash to settle their winter bill?
Surely the vast majority of non DD customers will pay by cheque?0
