So Im on British Gas with ClickEnergy 5 paperless dual fuel.
Now I understand the principle. You build up credit in the summer, expend it during the winter.
But here's the situation:
Before May, there were 3 people living here. Dad, mum and me. Thats TVs on all day even when I was at work, plenty of gas cooking, warming plates in the gas oven etc etc.
After the tragedies of late April/early May, it became just me living here. I carried on paying the same rates as we had with 3 residents: £51 gas, £76 electric per month.
Now I hardly ever cook with gas cos I use a convection oven, and when Im at work theres no heating on. I built up £308 electric credit and £256 gas credit.
So they put my gas up to £69 per month, and drop my electric to £51? What the hell?
Stuff em, I said. Just switched to nPower. British Gas are some crazy melonfarmers!

Energy prices should be dropping like a stone at the moment.Dont hear Gormless protesting too loudly about it either,but then his brother is big in the energy industry. >:( >:( >:( >:(

There all the same, im with Atlantic and they tried to up the DD so I phoned and told them to shove their supplies and they have just given me a month of gas and electric free if I stay with them :)

I never have and never will pay by monthly DD,its tantamount to theft imo >:(

That's you giving them an interest free loan of £500 for 5 months. They screw you if they can. I am renovating a property; its been empty for several years and no gas has been used. They still send estimated bills of £75 each time.
