    If I have emails off EDF i dont always open them as I thought that my price was fixed (so I can take some responsibility for that)

    According to the Bill that they sent since I started

    I had 7 payments of £71 = 497

    My electricity usage for 7 months was 330 (47 per month)
    My gas usage for 7 months was 427 (61 per month)

    so they reckon i owe them 330+427-497- 50 (discount) + 35.39 (VAT). So they say I owe them 246.21.

    Says then that I will pay 178 on July 2nd . Do not know where this figure comes from and I also paid 71 pound start of June month.

    by the figures above I should be paying 47+61 per month which is 108?
    You should be paying 47+61 PLUS the arrears which they appear to be recovering at £70 pm making £178 unless you choose to pay them £246.21 straight off and then have a DD of £108.

    I disagree. If gas heating is used I would expect that the last 7 months represents about 80% of annual gas consumption. The Edf calculation cannot be substantiated without knowledge of the Edf assumption of projected annual consumption. The correctness of the "inadequacy recovery" (not arrears) cannot be established without knowledge of the date of the 'annual review'.

    And a "sudden excessive hike" *may* be correct but is hardly reasonable.

    That said, not to open supplier emails is inexcusable.
