    Have you have confirmation from OVO that it is now your supplier for BOTH Gas and Elec ?

    Is the Sainsbury bill a final bill - there would have been one for Elec and one for Gas (the Gas can take a long time)
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    Don't you keep records? -

    " my Sainsburys duel fuel energy ended back in September or something "

    Even if you have paperless billing, save the PDF's on your computer.
    And it's dual not duel. Duel means -
    " a conflict between antagonistic persons, ideas, or forces; also : a hard-fought contest between two opponents. "

    Dual means:
    " Consisting of two parts, elements, or aspects. "

    Pedantic? Yes, I am fighting for the Pedant's Revolt.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    Suppliers have 6 weeks from the actual date of the transfer of supply to raise a Final Bill. It follows that it is possible to pay two suppliers for a couple of months. All overpayments will be returned. Have you received a Final Bill? The important thing to check is that the two suppliers have used the same readings to open and close your accounts.
