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

[albitz]

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.
