Ridiculously expensive and unexplained NPower Bill
I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment in Leeds, and when I moved in less than 3 months ago, I was told by npower that I would be using approximately £50 per month, which to me sounded slightly over the amount we would use, as we are both very economical.
