Monthly payment question

amstel2

Hello
I am on a price fix with NPower until 2018. My monthly D/D was re-assed in Oct so will be re-assed again in April.

However, I have been off work sick going back in Jan so have been home all day using the heating a lot more than usual. I am pretty sure this temporary spike in my gas consumption will mean my payments rising next year.

When I go back to work if I calculate the cost of the extra gas used & pay it straight away will this stop any increase in April?

Thanks

Yes, an extra credit to the account will often result in a reduced monthly DD ... or in this case for the exiting level to be maintained as you will be paying off the temporary increase in consumption.
