An alternative to my current energy/mobile provider Utility Warehouse

I would like to find out if there is an alternative provider for my energy and mobile use combined; similar to my current provider Utility Warehouse and can I set the dates for my direct debit payments for this service.  The reason for asking is because due to having to change my job, my payment date has moved from the 25th each month to the 5th of every month and this has caused a bit of a problem when making debit payments.  I just want to keep things simpler and be able to pay my energy bills on a date that I choose rather than a set direct debit date that would incur late payment charges.  If there is a similar alternative to my current energy/mobile bundle package provider, then who should I  be talking to, to change to a new more manageable tariff?

    Hi, welcome to the LPG, Heating Oil & Other Solid Fuels forum.

    The main energy forum dealing with mains electricity and gas would be more suitable for the question and you'd get a better response - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/energy

    Is there a reason you want Home Energy and Mobile bills combined through one supplier?  It might be best (and cheaper!) to use separate suppliers that specialise in each market.  UW are very good at making their customers/members believe they save by bundling everything together, but it might not always be the case. (although as @JJ_Egan said, moving energy supplier right now would not be a good idea if you have a decent fix with UW)

    Assume you've spoken to UW about changing your payment date, I'd be surprised if they can't do this.
