I feel like Brit Gas are fiddling my energy account. Raising DD way above usage, etc. Any advice?

Surely its easier to have a variable monthly DD when it comes to sharing - then you simply say - the bill £60.10 this month - your share is £30.10.
57 x 1.02264 x 40 / 3.6 = 647.67 QED
NB the 40 isn't fixed - it will vary a little from bill to bill depending on the quality of the gas.Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0 -
also am i reading right that your using an 'average' for the cost of jan and feb due to not being there a full 12 months yet?
if so you might want to think about just using whatever you had for december as december and january are the two months were most people use most of there gas for the year.Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. Anne Lamott
It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?

I may be wrong but I had a feeling that BG’s new system was not supporting variable DD at the moment?🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
