So my September electric account balance is nil with the grant 
Eon are taking a DDM of £10
My weekly bill is £12

My Gas account is in credit by £45 and £90 DDM is going on tiday so my credit balance will be £135, I've just had a £100 refund

My weekly bill is £12.50 with 75% heating useage

Why am I lending Eon money? 

I want a monthly to pay on demand now

Nothing stopping you.

But equally, why should they let you use the energy before you’ve paid for it?

I've been asking for 3 weeks, they don't seem keen on the idea

Yeah but you don't eat / use your shopping until you've paid for them. 

Extremely difficult to compare physical goods and on-demand energy supply anyway.

Try telling Tesco that you want a bill for the food that you’ve actually eaten at the end of each month and see how far that gets you.

Ok then, cancel your DD and switch to pay-on-receipt-of-bill.

I prefer pay on receipt of bill, it means money stays in your own account and you gain interest on your own money. 

I had the problem with my energy company, even though I had plenty of credit in the account, where they, without my knowledge, we’re about to help themselves from my bank account and take £117 out. 

They did not send any e Mail or letter to say they were going to do this beforehand. I therefore cancelled both direct debits and pay each month. 

I feel they cannot be trusted with customers money.
