    I have never received the proper bills, only the reminders. When I moved I set up a redirection from the post office for 6 months and that was from June 2014 so no bills came for me during that time - the reminders from January 2016 were the first I knew about any outstanding bills.

    Then request a copy of the bill(s) to which they refer :)

    Only with that have you any chance of understanding why you are being asked to pay what they are asking for.
  • I've requested a complete breakdown of the bills so until I see that there won't be a lot I can do, but having my original final bill in my hand which completely differs to what they are saying I owe, I won't be paying without putting up a fight!
  • My experience with NPower was that they tried to charge me when I did not owe them any money. I would get an appointment with the CAB and ask them to help. Only way to resolve it in this situation.

    If it's any help, I very much doubt that you owe them a penny.

    I moved out of my previous property on 1st June 2014 and my final bill with actual readings stated I was in credit by £153.79. I am still with Npower so they did all the switch over at my current address (I pay direct debit and always have done). Now 20 months later I have received two bills totalling over £1900 for my previous address - hours on the phone to them have got me no closer to understanding how, when I was paying direct debit every month, I could of accumulated that amount. Surely if my final bill was based on actual readings then this is their mistake and not mine?
