    The most expensive direct debit price out there now.


    Looks like SSE at 12.63p is the cheapest.

    I just left SSE for Budget's "Fixed rate for a year " at 12.50 last month......

    You timed that well. 14.84 is the new 12 month fix price.


    The standard no fix rate is a rather hefty 16.19p

    I wonder is this the start of all the companies increasing their rates?

    but it didn't turn out to be fixed, that's the issue :(

    A fix that's not fixed? Really?

    yup, and the salesman said £30 credit which later I discovered was £20. Not worth taking the day off work for the engineer...

    I left Budget years ago for a decent deal on SSE. At the time I was paying Budget a set amount per month Direct Debit, but when I switched I never heard from them again. By my reckoning I was still owed a few bob by Budget, but never bothered chasing it up.


    Point is, they didn't bother sending me a final bill, or contacting me to outline the closing balance. However am sure if I'd owed them they'd have been on pretty sharpish!


    For that reason alone I wouldn't even consider them again.


    Micky Mouse outfit!
