    Can't guarantee what debt collection agencies might do, other option is pay by debit card when a bill is generated before it generates a DD instruction 
    With direct debit you get that 5% discount I think.
    Not in my experience. 
    Octopus charge the same rates for payment by fixed DD or by variable "whole amount" DD.  I don't know if they publish their non-DD rate, but their SVR DD rate is bang on the price cap, and 5% below the price cap for non-DD.
    Standard credit is higher than DD and prepayment
