What's the best way of paying utility bills?

Bet they're a lot bigger now! Yes we always overpaid D/D as well and they would just take the overpayment off the next bill. Never did like that - prefer to have our money in our accounts thanks. It suits us - but obviously doesn't suit you.
Just offering our reasons for avoiding D/D on anything that we can actually have control over what we use (gas/elect etc). Our savings using D/D have never been anything like yours, so our bills must be smaller. Would advocate paying monthly into a savings account to fund those winter bills if necessary.

Yeah, the savings are still there, granted probably not as large as when EDF had their excellent tariff. £74 however is still a fair saving and one I wouldn't miss out on, even if it was only £20 saving, I'd take it.

Yes, our energy bills will be higher from now on, though I took the gamble with EDF and didn't rate-fix - it paid off, this time I've took the gamble with Scottish Power and decided to go for fixed-rate 'til end of Feb 2008.
