Paid first bill twice

I received a message confirming our first bill. I paid this manually and then set up a direct debit. Today payment was taken from another of my bank accounts for the very same bill. I suspect I provided these bank details when signing up. 
Will the duplicate payment be  refunded or adding to my account as credit?

  • Thanks. I was expecting the first bill to higher - that isn’t the issue. I paid the bill manually and then a few days later the exact same amount of money was taken from my bank account 

  • Thank you so much for letting us know what’s happened Slwray.  We completely understand how worrying it can be to see a duplicate payment taken, and I’m really sorry for any confusion this has caused.

     

    We can confirm that if you’ve made a double payment for the exact same bill, the additional amount will remain on your account as a credit. This means it will automatically be deducted from your next bill, so you won’t lose out. Just as a quick note, first bills are usually higher than normal because we charge a month in advance, so that might explain why the amount seemed larger than expected.
