Scottish Power......
They promised me the earth, but delivered very little.
After being with the since November, and paying them £126 a month (because they were estimating my useage (which is my fault because I have to practically empty the cupboard under the stairs to read it)), I've now been told they've under estimated it to the tune of £236. Which, by my calculations, totals £1748 of Gas and Electric over the year. Now; this might make you think I live in a mansion (I wish), but I don't. I live in a modest 3 bedroom middle terrace house, with 3 kids and a wife. We don't often have the heating on, and just wear more clothes. But even if we did, it's still an extortionate amount of money.
When I spoke to customer services yesterday, the lady suggested I was silly swapping companies because they have some of the lowest prices around.
I'm not looking for advice, just want to rant and warn people off from using them. Shocking prices and not the best customer services of all time either.

Why did you choose SP last November? :huh:
My suggestion is that you should input your latest anticipated annual, consumption figures in kWh into a comparison site and see what is the best deal for you.0
