BG On-line accounts - and high consumption.
For those, like myself, who run their British Gas accounts on-line(https://www.House.co.uk) the last year or so has been really frustrating.

Set DD payments throughout year.. where's your bill at?
Just updated our meter readings on scottishpower's online thingy and we're £16 in debt. Obviously I'm not worried as we'll obviously use more in the winter than the summer but was just wondering where everyone else was at this time of year? Still in credit or now in debt? Before I updated it we were £133 in credit as I…

I switched electricity suppliers 10 months ago after getting a quote from Uswitch of £20.50 per month from British Gas. I am now £90 in debit and I have used less electricity than I did last year.

75% increase?!
I have a prepayment (powercard) meter with Scottish Power. I'm usually £8-£10 a week (I always buy two powercards but never use them all in the one week). About 3 weeks ago the meter reader came and as he was stepping out the door he said, "Oh, I've put a slight increase on you there." And disappeared. Fair enough I…

Help with my first electricity bill please!
Just received my first electricity bill from EDF Energy, stating it's a bill for 28/10 to 5/1. I was under the assumption that a quarterly bill was every 3 months?! It's an estimated bill.

Can someone confirm my logic here - new to all this
Got my second gas / eleccy bill today, after living in our first house (2 of us in a 2 bed semi) for 5 months now.

I've never…
