@COPTOTERMES do you have the option to pay on receiving a bill, or do you have to direct debit ?
I think you can just get a monthly bill and pay on that, rather than have automatic deductions, but the original poster was concerned many might be tempted into direct debit for convenience then, and sometimes there are erroneous bill calculations, where you are at the mercy of the retailer to remove funds that are probably needed for other living expenses.
Then having to go through a drawn out process to get the matter rectified / refunded.
There is a benefit of monthly for some customers, but for others quarterly is just less work with 4 payments a year instead of 12.
I'd like monthly in one way, I'm working on a spreadsheet for TOU data to accurately check my own bills, and it means calculation on spreadsheet inputs of about 11520 lines instead of 34560 lines.
At the moment in my spare time, I'm trying to work through formulas to assist in this, but the data is pretty spread through the 48 time blocks a day, and with 8 different units to separate it is not easy (no spreadsheet wizard am I, ha ha).
