The thing with the prompt payment discounts, is they are more likely punishing the lower income families who cant afford to pay on time.
Which probably has a consequence of them choosing not to turn on the heating over winter when they need it in order to save some money on power...
I pay on time whether i get a prompt payment discount or not, just easier having the money gone at the same time each month.
