Thames Water Direct Debit Payments

in Water bills
It would appear that Thames Water, although saying they will help with bill payments, in actual fact couldn't care less about their customers.
I recently received my water bill and went on line to set up a monthly direct debit which should have worked out at just under £25 a month. When I tried to set it up TW wanted a first payment of over £100 and then further monthly payments of the same amount. I queried this on the telephone and was told that the extra amount of money was for estimated future use and a price rise and also - "that as the system was automated I would have to pay the said monthly amount".
I therefore had no choice but to pay the full amount on the bill.
Oh, what joy it must be to be a shareholder !
