Debts caused by no readings

techno12

Having had a slight mess-up with NPower (my DD is going up from £32 to £91 next month) I'm now taking monthly readings of my gas and electricity and submitting them online.

It's pretty good as they generate a new bill each month online, so I have a spot-on figure of how much it's all costing (the £91 is too high, should be £75, but I'll argue that in a few months time once I've built up a summer surplus. Though most years they notice this and reduce the DD, so my DD oscillates up and down twice a year instead of being a single figure).

I was like the OP until recently, as both meters are in the main building (my flat is completely self-contained with own front door) to which I've had no access until I demanded some keys from the freeholder a while back.

Submitting regular readings definitely the way to go!
