I moved to my current home Oct 2009 the supplier was EON, the previous bill payer had left owing over £1500 (Edtimations) because of this I could not change suppliers and was refused a bill in my own name till the outstanding debt was paid.
Throughout this I paid money into a tempory account whilst they got thier act togehter (Took 12 months to sort)
I seem to remember there were no standing daily charges. I paid £50 per month to the temp acc untill I had my own.
When I was back on track I Was £600 in arrears. I stayed with EON (Seperate bills for each supply) Paying £50 usage and £50 arrears till all sorted. At the time I was watching a 42" Plasma TV which helped run up huge bills.
Changeing TV's brought the bills tumbling , never domestic applieances (A++) helped further etc etc.
Over the years my mothly bill had dropped to as little as £60/65 per month, no arrears at all and often quite a sizable refund every year. Last year was over £300
Currently £184.49 (E) + £278.30 (G) = £462.79 in credit but will change monthly.
Standing charge for electric went from .24p to .46p daily, I have bumped my DD up to £175 PM and when the bills settle I reckon I may have to up that to at least £00 PM.
Next investment will be a bundle off wooly jumpers I reckon.
