Hi all,
Seeking a little advice with regards to my energy bills. I moved into my flat nearly 2 years ago now and set up my electricity bill with Scottish Power, after a meter reading and what have you they quoted me at £45 per month. Admittedly as it was new to me I had no idea how much I'd use or if this was a good or bad price. My flat runs on economy 7, no gas just electricity. Last year I received a phone call from Scottish Power informing myself I was £300 in credit and they would be putting my monthly payment down. After talking to a colleague at work, I was told I could ask for a rebate and get the £300 back and carry on paying what I was, it sounded like the best idea I could have done with the £300.
I took a meter reading that night just so I could check everything was correct, after doing so and ringing Scottish power I was quickly informed that I was in fact now £500 in debit and could I pay this upfront? I couldn't so we agreed on putting my bills up to £90 per month until I was straight.
I have been paying £90 now for about 9 months, and received my annual bill las week which stated as of the 5th November 2014 I was £101 in credit so here's me thinking brilliant I may be able to drop them a little now. The very next day I receive another letter saying in big letters "GOOD NEWS YOUR BILLS ARE STAYING THE SAME!" your account balance is currently £304 in debit. Arrggggghh!!! which one is it am I in debit?! Credit?! I'm so confused really want to sack Scottish Power off.
What would you suggest or who would you suggest?!
