Tenth Anniversary 10 Posts Combo Breaker
Hello I hope someone will be able to give us advice what to do. Our fix term come to an end and I rang them with current meter readings to update system. After giving them readings they insist that we are 900 gbp on credit. Knowing its impossible I raised issue with them, their specialist still insist that we are that much in credit. We cannot be , from what I gathered we gave them ALL correct readings and it must be their accounting mistake. Who will be hold responsible? When I complained guy from customer services said to me that ,, are you trying to tell me that specialist who works 3 years here is incorrect with checking mistakes in your account.,,. Bill provided by them still shows 900 gbp more it should , they having none of it insisting its ok. What to do next?
Thanks for help

    Since you have all the meter reads, do your own billing calculation, it's a few minutes work.
    But if your last bill was correct and based on actual readings, not estimates (again, it's shown on the bill) how can you possibly have built £900 credit over the winter months?
    Or is it, as sugested above, £900 in debit? That is perfectly possible if it's a big catch-up bill.
    So, when was the previous meter read submitted?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
