    Did you read the meter when you moved in and have you kept track of your usage, Does their estimate on the bill correspond with your current meter reading.

    This winter has been very prolonged and cold and it's easy to ramp up big bills without realising.

    So if you don't read your meter regularly and record your usage then you wont know whether its right or wrong.
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

    Tell us your actual kWh usage and how the property is heated/hot watered. £££'s bills tell us nothing.
    How much have you been paying per month, assuming DD? Which tariff?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
