Energy company reps

EDF Direct Debits
I've been chasing EDF to establish why my DD gets recalculated every time I enter a reading. They told me over the phone that it was because I entered readings closer than 28 days apart. I didn't, but a meter reader visited in-between my readings, so I accepted that. Then, having left a month between two readings, I still…

Instead they have told me that " Thank you for informing us that you are considering…

Moved supplier - now what?
Hello all, I have recently moved from Spark to EON for my electricity and gas. The electricity was switched at the beginning of October, and the gas on 1st November (due to a silly objection by Spark, twice). I am wondering if I now need to contact Spark for a final bill, or whether they should do it automatically? As it's…

E.On Annual Usage Calculation
I have a smart meter and get monthly statements from E.On with actual meter readings. They are always dated on or just after the 1st of the Month. So that makes it pretty easy to calculate my annual usage, just by adding up 12 consecutive monthly usages. Doing that for the 12 statements dated 2/12/10 through to the…
