£400 energy - deduction from DD??

[mynameischloe]

Can someone please explain this to me, I'm with EON.

I've just logged on to submit my meter readings as usual, I normally pay £100 per month direct debit but I submit my readings every month so the usage/credit is accurate.

It now says my direct debit will be £33 this month. How is this crediting me £67 when I'll still have the pay the same amount for my usage? I understand I'll have the extra £67 in my bank account but the usage will still have to be paid for? I'll now just be £67 less in credit.

I don't understand!

Different companies are applying the discount differently which is a bit strange but hey ho. Scottish Power, for example, are still going to take the full DD amount from people then a couple of days later refund £67 back into their bank accounts.

Has your tariff been reduced to reflect the new cap of unit charges?
