My DD with eon is £100 a month (and I'm in credit) and I've got a 5 bed stone built victorian house, so unless you like living in a sauna, how on earth does a 1 bed flat have electric bills so high, something is very wrong.

But presumably your heating is gas? Electric heating is expensive.

I agree it does still sound like there is something wrong, but it may turn out to be an issue with the op's useage rather than EON's fault.

I would also advise the op to check that the meter they are being billed for actually supplies their flat.

Thanks everyone for your replies, I have been in touch with the EON representative on this forum (Amanda) and she has helped me to understand my bill, I cannot sing her praises enough, she provided details of all charges, payments and correspondence and now I have got my head around it, it seems to make more sense, she has amended my dd down to £248 pm which is great, this will pay off the arrears by April and also pay my usage, after that she estimates my usage to be around £80pm which will finally relieve the pressure and maybe I might be able to afford to eat next year
This forum is great, thanks guys x

Sorry (and yes it is gas central heating)

I'm not familiar with the cost of running electric heating, but that still sounds a bit high for a 1 bed flat. Do you have storage heaters and economy 7?
You might be able to reduce your usage further by looking into your heating cost, especially with winter approaching.
