These days nearly all suppliers want paid monthly by direct debit. One
difference is how often they change the amount that they want to take.
It is poaaible to ring your bank and ask them to reclaim a direct debit.
I did once do this. The bank were a little reluntant but they did do as
asked.

Why a monthly direct debit? Mine produces a bill every three months
and collects the sum due by direct debit.

Who does that? Did they offer that method or did you have to find out
for yourself? EDF and British Gas don't seem to offer that.

This is getting interesting. I am now with British Gas after an
enforced switch from Ebico / Robin Hood Energy when the latter went
into administration. I was told existing terms would continue. The
account is described as a monthly direct debit but the bill (which I
cannot find on the website) seems to cover three months. There are
various adjustments (miscellaneous documents) so the position is
difficult to track. They also seem to have put me on a fixed price
tariff. I would have liked to check if that is what I was on before
but the Ebico website has been taken down.
