I was paying too much afetr all :-)

I have just been plodding along for a year paying my gas and electricity by DD. I was paying £70.00 a month in gas and £45.00 a month in electric. People kept telling me I was paying too much but until recently when I have come into financial difficulty I haven't done anything about it. Well today I called them up and not only have I managed to cut my gas down to £45.00 a month and my electricity to £40.00 but I also got £60.00 refunded into my bank account, woohoo!

Just thought I would share this with you on the hope of encouraging more of you to make sure you are not paying too much before it is too late :-)

Who are you with? What is your annual usage in kWh? What region do you live in?

I bet you or I could get it even lower by switching to an online managed monthly direct debit tariff.

If you were paying £115 per month but only used £85 per month then after 12 months your refund should have been £240.

Sorry I should have said that I also got a refund just before xmas but thought that was with just not using much during the summer months last year. I am now managing online, but will definitely still see if I can get cheaper elsewhere. I am with Scottish Hydro Electric for both.
