    What do you mean by a refund of £35?
    Is it the current credit balance on your account after you have been billed, your DD was deducted and £66 was deducted from the balance?
    Perhaps you can post a suitably redacted image of your latest statement or something showing the £35?

    Have they put your direct debit up a bit because of the price rises, so it's £66 discount from a bigger 'base'?
  • I pay £100 and told after my dd went through would be refunded the £66 as was paying before the grant came in

    It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?
