£45pm to £176pm DD increase from Eon
Good old Eon. :rolleyes: They don't charge me for 6 months, despite chasing from our end. My £45pm is about £5 short of actual usage figures but because they allowed the debt to build up, we're now going to get stupid charges pm. So glad I switched to EDF last week.
