    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    You are not talking about the British Gas February 2017 fix and it mentioning £100 Direct Debit.

    That figure was just an example if some-one's (not your parents in particular) consumption goes up.

    Joining e-mail just gives an example - current direct Debit £90 then in big circle NEW DIRECT DEBIT £100.

    It is not the Direct Debit that will be applied to your parents account.

    Was discussed elsewhere yesterday.

    This confirming my similar post yesterday
