I put the reading in online just before midnight on 12th, but they ignored it and estimated it. Because there's a window of 14…

Eon direct debit frustration
Last year due to an incorrect meter reading by a meter reader my bill from Eon was calculated at £2000 (for a one bedroom flat!). This error caused me undue stress but the bill was recalculated in October and it turned out I had £500 in backpayments that then appeared on my account. Despite this Eon didn't change my direct…

So it's not as though we've been overly extravagant, and having 2 children means we…
