And whilst i’m on the subject of OVO many folks (including me) were forced over to them when they purchased SSE energy. Suddenly monthly billing instead of quarterly billing was the only game in town if you didn’t want to pay through a variable direct debit – a variable direct debit allows the energy company to take however much they want from your bank account. Not something i would ever agree to because i always insist on paying for my actual usage not a projected usage.
