    Would you correct them if it was they who over estimated your usage before the price went up?


    Yes.

    And I don't know why you are bringing estimates back into it, you clearly stated:

    No, all you've got to do is give them a meter reading on the day of the increase and any used before that reading will be charged at the old rate and any after at the new one. You don't have to panic and try and get it paid up beforehand.
    Or you could be sneaky and give a higher meter reading, meaning you pay for more units at the cheaper rate... :rotfl:

    1000s of kWh is hugely obvious but an extra week or something wouldn't be. ;)

    that is what I suggested in post 4.

    Do posters actually read other posts?
