I got an email from my energy supplier to say they were going to reduce my monthly direct debit to £30 per month as I had built up £450credit, so I rang them and told them I would rather they sent me £350 of the credit I had built up and just reduce my direct debit by £20 per month. I would rather have the cash so I can buy something and have something to show for it than them keep it and give me it back a bit at a time. I told them last year that my direct debit didnt need increasing but they took it anyway.5

internet has risen, along with
my water rates,
council tax,
boiler insurance

Luckily I am hopefully moving at the end of this month in with my daughter and son -in -law and our bills will be combined so what I pay now I will throw into the pot for us all sharing most of the bills will help us both My water rates actually go up the day after my move date
