Milleplod Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 We only became the owners last week, and the first bill's arrived in the UK already - very efficient!There's a tear-off portion with the bill, which I assume gets sent back to EDF, but with what? My bank details so that CA pays it direct? A cheque? Help!We don't want to set up a direct debit, but prefer to pay 'as and when' the bill comes.Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John87 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Same thing happened to me - they are quick ! Just sign the slip section where it says "TIP", send a RIB with it and they'll take the amount on the slip from your bank account - this is not a DD but a one off payment. You can do the same thing again next time if you wish next time when they send a bill.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you do not sign the tear off piece of the bill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 With the state of the post being as it is, and EdF's (and all the other charges) quick off the mark surcharges for late payment it really is much safer to pay by direct debit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colesp Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I would agree with others on the forum about paying by direct debit, EDF are really good, but a word of warning, pay first bill by cheque and give direct debit details at same time, we only sent DD details with first bill and nearly ended up getting cut off.I have also found that by emailing or writing to EDF with Dates you will be at your home they will send technician to read the meter, I have just arrange my next meter reading for 2nd June between 10-12pm , (dont get the same service in UK)>We only became the owners last >week, and the first bill's >arrived in the UK already >- very efficient! >There's a tear-off portion with the >bill, which I assume gets >sent back to EDF, but >with what?
