EDF Annual Electric usage statment 47,600kWh, record?

boatman

Can anyone beat my 47,600kWh for annual home usage?

Just received my annual electric summary through the post, they have got their figures a bit wrong, am i the only one? OOPS!

Just pay it and stop moaning;)

It is the old adage with computers - 'rubbish in = rubbish out'

I suspect there was an estimated reading somewhere on your account and the computer 'thought' you had used a huge amount in a short period; and uses that figure to estimate an annual consumption.

Given the way the utility companies operate these days, he may have to!

I phoned up, the woman said throw it away. She said it comes from a different dept than billing, the rest of my bill is correct so I have no idea where they get their figures from. Just thought that there may well be others that they have made the same mistake with too.

My summary a couple of years ago said I would be using £49,000 of energy in the next year. I use approx £650-£700 / year.
Predicted was 101,489 for electricity and 1,139,268 for gas.

On the upside, they predicted a £2999 discount for direct debit payment :-)

As I said, the previous 3 years were under £700 / year so their billing computer is *appalling* :-)

A £3,000 discount is pretty good though!


On a slightly different tack, I returned some wrong building material for exchange to the local store(cost about £15). They had to give me a visa credit and then re-charge a different amount to my card.


I have the credit slip for £217,927.82 which sadly wasn't honoured.
