Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Thank you for your understanding.MSE Blog: My £2.24 MILLION tax bill

Despite this, one quarter British Gas estimated my meter reading to be 85.
Next quarter, my meter reading was zero again, so they charged me for 1109757 units. I think the bill was six figures.
I had a moment of panic, before I realised how stupid they would look if they took this to court, but it still took them about 6 months to sort it out and I had no compensation for distress, despite their customer's charter. Another reason I was happy to leave.
Had something similar happen - BG esimated by reading - a couple of days later I submitted an actual reading, which was lower, and the next day my usage was showing at x-million kwh of energy.
Spoke to BG who of course sorted it, but was told that yes, their system assumed I'd gone around the clock in a few days - apparently their system can't comprehend the possibility that they got the estimate wrong - crazy
Would be far less reason for people to post on MSE if they did. :eek:
Good advice, but it would probably be equally good advice to know in advance how much the SDLT payment (and other payments) should be - had the bill been wrong by 10% rather than 10,000% (or whatever it was) would you have spotted that?
