    were paying 45 per month.. now from next month they want 206 per month! this is cos we owe them 811 pounds... omg omg... what a joke.

    tried to call them .. but they having technical problems.. yeah right!

    can anyone give me any advice?

    Have you checked the meter reading is correct? Our Gas company recently sent us a £1500 bill but it turned out they had put next doors meter reading in instead of ours!

  • That's a bit of a !!!! then. :(

    Check it against the meter just to make double sure though, even though they have taken a reading.
