If you pay by Direct Debit
If you pay by Whole Bill Direct Debit, be aware that when you change your payment date, your bill may look a bit more complicated. This is because we'll also have to change the date when your bill is generated, and adjust your charges to make sure you’re still paying the right amount.
For example, if you extend your payment date, we'll have to charge you for the period between the end of your last bill, and the start of your new bill period. This will result in an additional item on your bill.
