Having a free afternoon, I checked my regular direct debit payments. Two phone calls later I am £60 a year better off.
First one was to insurance for my fridge/freezer - only appliance I keep insurance for, and noted that this had gone up and up in monthly cost. Phone call, and it was brought back down.
Next phone - even quicker - to my mobile phone company, again I complained of increase in charges and was immediately offered a third off what I was being charged.
Now £60 a year may not seem a lot to some people - but for me it is a sizeeable amount and far better in my bank account than that of insurance and mobile phone companies

A good post and a reminder how easy it is to let these types of payment go unnoticed. Much better in your pocket than the big companies. Many on here will be spending the weekend checking their direct debits.
