I've just received a william from British Gas. I may pay by sending a
cheque to them by post (least ways, I think I may) but their letter
doesn't tell me who to make the cheque payable to, nor where to send it.
If anyone gets their gas from them, and knows of a postal address to
send cheques to, I'll be pleased to be told.

Just as 'beautiful' points the way for aesthetics and 'good' for ethics,
so do words like 'true' for logic. All sciences have truth as their
goal; but logic is also concerned with it in a quite different way:
logic has much the same relation to truth as physics has to weight or
heat. Frege in 'Thoughts' (Der Gedanke)

They would have found this useful:

Different ways for you to pay, most of them avoiding any additional costs.
Such a postage stamp.

Direct Debit
It is one of the easiest ways to pay. You’ll also pay a lower price. You can
pay
a monthly fixed amount, where we calculate the cost of your energy for the
year ahead and divide this into equal payments. We’ll then review this after
six months. Or you can pay a variable amount every month or quarter, depending
on the energy you use.
With a credit or debit card online, by phone, by cheque or at the post office
• Go to britishgas.co.uk/paymybill or call our automated payment line on 0333
202 9524*.
• By text
Call us on 0333 202 9802* to register for this service.
• Internet or phone banking
Pay directly into our bank: account number 71584685 and sort code 40-05-30.
You’ll need to quote your customer reference number – it begins 85. You can
also do a bank transfer, but your bank might charge you.
• By mail
Send a cheque made payable to British Gas Trading Ltd with your customer
reference number on the back, plus the payment slip attached to your bill, to:
BGT Area 55 (IPSL), Blaise Pascal House, 100 Pavilion Drive, Northampton NN4
7YP.
• At the Post Office
You’ll need your bill and payment slip. Cheques should be made payable to Post
Office Ltd. Please write your customer reference number on the back.
Regular gas and electricity payment card
Paying an agreed fixed amount fortnightly or monthly allows you to spread your
costs evenly throughout the year. To set up a payment card arrangement, or
request a replacement card, call us on 0333 202 9802*.

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
Then quit. There’s no point in being a damn fool about it.

I have just paid the bill for the forth time. I have written to IPSL
asking what they think they are doing, but IPSL is not British Gas. If
anyone knows British Gas's address for complaints I'll be happy to be told.

[The first three payments were made by post. That one letter may get
lost in the post I am prepared to accept, but it is implausible that
three should get lost. The fourth one I paid just minutes ago at a Post
Office, so at least I have a receipt this time.]
