Dispute with energy company large bill - advice please

SaleHunter

Yeah, thanks for that little gem roger, sound advice indeed, did you forget the purpose of this site?

No red herrings here, EDF agreed to payments at £65p/m back in March, and today have agreed to do so again, that was the agreed "budget".

With regards to how I would feel about billing someone in the run up to christmas, this would'nt normally apply to me as I work on a pro-forma basis. However, as you will notice in one of my previous messages, i've recently had my gutters repaired, this is actually a shared cost between myself an a neighbour. I took a little longer than we both wanted to get someone out to do the job (phoned 10 companies, only 2 phoned back and only one appeared to do an estimate) and so I have agreed to pay for the job in full until Christmas and New Year are out of the way and my Neighbour has a bit more cash about them.

So, while i'm speading goodwill, you can go and suck on your humbugs :P

Salehunter,
- you've used the fuel
- you've had it interest free
- now all EDF want to do is be paid

surely you budgetted for this - the fact Christmas is looming is surely a red herring?

I notice you are self employed,
how would you feel if, just because you forgot to bill someone close to Christmas for services/supplies, then realised your error and billed them, they came back and used your arguements! I think you would then have a different view.

Just calculate what you owe, using a real meter reading, and pay up.
Sorry if that isn't what you want to hear.
