Scottish Power not billing us for electricity

Anyone experienced this? We've been with Scottish Power for coming up to two years now, and had a new electricity meter installed by eON a few months ago. On checking our bills today, I've noticed that on the last bill in June, we weren't billed for any electric, just gas.

They are still taking a direct debit as if they are billing for both, so Im not expecting to get a horrible bill shock or anything.

I'm thinking they stopped billing for electric since the new meter was installed. I'm going to try and phone them, but hearing horror stories about trying to get through to them about it.

    Submit a meter reading online and that may prompt the system to produce a bill.
