Well our October bill is way less than half their made up massive figure for the DD.
Is that because of the credit from the government?

The credit is paid back to my bank account and not applied to the balance. I think it's different if you owe them tho so they just apply it to your account with them, not your bank.

Both our accounts with Bulb have simply had the £66/month added, despite both being in credit. They're now quite a lot in credit after a couple of months of credits.

I'm with edf - I would imagine they are all different. You having money in their accounts is better for them I guess
