If you're struggling switch from DD to quaterly payments. Once the Bill arrives take 30 days to pay and then pay minimum payment off bill (I think it's 30%). That will fend them off for another 30 or so days. Should give you a while to find a job. When I was a student I didn't pay a leccy bill for 5 months using this technique. I had to pay in the end of course, it bought me some time though.
