Hi @Schroder,
I am sorry you have had some confusion in the text message replies, If you are currently set up as a Credit Customer then you can just use our self serve online direct debit set up form, https://utilita.co.uk/contact/direct-debit.

If you are currently on a prepay agreement or want to switch your modes you will need to speak with one of our agents on 0345 207 2000 or alternatively you could speak with our live chat agents https://utilita.co.uk/help.

Kind Regards
Dean

@Dean Obliged to you. Ref "currently set up as a Credit Customer" we don't know, that's just it, Utilita has not advised. Nonetheless will click the link provided and add the only reference we have, and hope for the best

thanks nonetheless your advice

@Schroder.
The main number for our customer support line is 0345 207 2000 and you will be given options to get through to the relevant departments however if you are having difficulty using the phone line then you could try to contact an agent through our live chat here https://utilita.co.uk/help. and selecting live chat option,

Unforteuently the community is not managed by any customer service agents and is a platform used for member to member help or to socialise with over members,
any queries that require talking to an agent directly will need to go through one of our main customer platforms either the number provided above, our live chat or one of our social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter.

Additionally I would advise not posting any personal numbers here as this is a public platform and any one even non members are able to see this information posted here and I would not want you to receive any unwanted calls.

Regards
Dean
