Scottish power capped???

Hi, when Scottish Power offered a further year of capped prices it sounded good, however since January this year my monthly payment has gone from £51 to £70.50!

We don't have gas and although there's nearly always someone at home 24/7 we're not extravagent (roughly 8800kwh per annum).

I've tried the comparison sites to see if we'd be better off with another company but I don't know which "version" of capped we're on. I'm reluctant to go online for bills (I have trust issues :rolleyes: :o )

Anyone in a similar situation?
:wave:

    you can't go off monthly payments you have to work out your annual consumption from your bills. You may find your monthly payments were not enough to cover your usage.
