How much are you in credit by?

After today's direct debit going through, my current credit is about £146.

Based on regular meter reading, I feel that this amount of credit is too high, considering my annual usage for gas is £298 (7100 kWh) and electric is £415 (4516 kWh).

Any thoughts?

    Mine was a couple of hundred pound, they've just dropped my direct debit from £138 to £52.

    When is your next bill due? You could read your meter and working out how much you`ve used so far and also ring your energy company and ask them to reduce it if you think you have too much credit.

    Just been on the phone to Scottish Power, and my credit was £146 - I ask for £100 back, and they advised me my direct debit would go from £59.50 to £61. So I asked for £90, and they advised me it would go to £60 - which is fine in my books. :j:T
