monthly direct debit

Hi ALL,
have just changed my gas supplier, and to reduce my bill have opted for mnthly DD

They want £20 /month can i ring them and make it £10, and make up the difference when bill is issued, is it negotiable?

thanks, Chris

    You don't have the 'right' to do as you wish.

    They might play ball for a couple of months until they review your account and then your DD will increase drastically.

    What you suggest is bad practice for them and you; and £20 monthly is very low anyway.

    I doubt it but worth a try OP

    My logic for doubting it is if they let you do that, what point is there in them offering a DD discount if they potentially end up having to chase money?

    :confused: I have a poll / discussion on Economy 7 / 10 off-peak usage (as a % or total) and ways to improve it but I'm not allowed to link to it so have a look on the gas/elec forum if you would like to vote or discuss.:cool:
