    Its been a long winter which wont have helped.

    I had similar we had almost £1k in credit. DD was reduced by £180, but they would only let us take half of our credit. Wasnt thrilled but thought never mind ask next year. Checked recently and we are now only £100 in credit and my fire has been broken for a few years and my oven broke on boxing day and was replaced last week, so not like I had loads of things on.

    At least youve spotted it. Hopefully weather will warm up and reduce consumption that way.

    this is one of the reasons I actually don’t mind being on a prepayment meter. I’m in control and pay for what I use. Previously I’ve had sudden unbelievable increases in DD such as from 150-500 a month that have been so stressful. Both houses I have lived in in the last 7 y have been prepayment and actually it has been better. I sometimes add a bit more to it in summer to build up for winter but I have flexibility.
