Budget Direct Debit: why you don't usually need to make an extra payment

We can give you the answer for your type of account, once we know what your account number starts with. You can find your account number in MyAccount, and on your EDF bills, emails and letters.
 

My account number starts with '67'

You don't usually need to make an extra payment when you pay by Budget Direct Debit (regular monthly payments). That's because you get at least two reviews each year to keep your payments on track.

And you don't normally need to make an extra payment when you see debit on your account. It's the debit (and credit) on your account that allows you to spread your payments evenly over the year.

Do you think your energy costs are going up?

If your tariff prices or energy use has gone up it can sometimes be a good idea to ask us to increase your monthly payment.
