I think some off you have been really rude and sarcastic on this post!...maybe some off you should keep your opinions to yourself!
Hope BREX hasn't come to the same conclusion. Several people all posted to try to help, but more information really was needed to be certain what was going on.0 -
Hi BREX
I agree with Jalexa; take regular meter readings and see if there's anything unusual happening.
Also, as others say, turn everything off and see if usage is still being recorded. If this is the case, contact us asap and let us know.
Just another quick point; it looks as though you've an Economy 7 meter. Assuming the lower figure is the night usage and the figures are accurate, you're only using between 14 and 15 per cent consumption at the lower off peak rate.
This is nowhere near enough to be benefiting from an Economy 7 tariff; so make sure you're on unrestricted prices. I know this doesn't explain the higher usage but thought it might be of use.
I'm sorry if my assumptions are wide of the mark. Let me know if I can help further as happy to do so.

Does your meter have a little red light or a spinning silver wheel?.
How regular is the red light flashing / how fast is the wheel spinning. Check it a regular times during the day / night to see any massive changes.
If you actually see it flying around / flashing faster than normal and you aren't running something like a tumble dryer, kettle, shower, cooker at the time, then flick each circuit breaker off in turn on the consumer unit, until it slows up. This will at least lead you to the circuit where the current is being consumed.
Also take a reading every few hours to see at what times your usage is increased above normal.
Turned every thing off on the trip switch and meter was still turning so it looks like its faulty...so going to ring Eon to come and check it outThanks to all comp posters:ADo not take life too seriously; you will never get out of it alive0 -
