British Gas customer slashes energy direct debit by £100 a month using simple online tool

A British Gas customer says they managed to slash their monthly direct debit by £100 a month after using an online energy bills calculator.

The householder took to Twitter to thank money saving expert Martin Lewis after they followed his website's advice on how to check if your direct debit payments are too high. The thrilled customer said they are now saving a 'whopping' £100 a month after 'tackling' the energy firm over their payments.

MoneySavingExpert, which was founded by Mr Lewis, provides an online calculator for direct debit customers that allows them to work out how much they should be paying their energy supplier each month based on their usage.
