    Quick teabreak and rest my eyes from printed material rather then computer for a change :)

    Just did a quick reccie and reckon I'm due for a rebate of £250 from N Power. Actually getting hold of it may prove to be a different matter.......

    :hello: hello nice N Power rep if you're reading this. Just spoke to a very nice lady who said it may take 2 months to get my final bill and refund. Any suggestions to speeding this up?

    Both :( and :mad:

    I did used to pay by direct debit for my utilities. Now i just pay when the bill comes in. I like not owing anyone any money and i like even more so them not owing me money as it can take an age to sort out :( The thing that really irks me now though is how i still find it very unclear how they work the bill out - i can't think of any other bill that is presented in such a complicated way ? Unless it is just me :o

    GG - hope the refund is sooner rather than later

    Tilly - hope you got there with it in the end :)
