    It doesn't look like you are on a two rate system - you don't have storage heaters do you?

    It says you are on rate 2 at 25 to 12 in the morning,

    No standing charge on screen F (also no debt recovery)
    Prices on I & K are two tier, one rate prices.

    You'll probably find J moves during the day as you'll have used up the 1.4 kWh at rate 1 early on.

    Keep taking reads, and double check the maths of the meter.

    Screen R says only £5 EC (not minus £5 - it's the limit, not what is available), but it's giving you more.
    It usually only does this at night/bank holidays etc but they may have extended it to weekends
    Do you have any electric heating? If so, it is feasible to use £20-£30 in a week when it is cold.

    If you want to look back at reads, BG should be able to help you 0800 048 0303 or 0330 100 0303
