Electric & gas bill!! Massive bill
Hi.
I wonder if anyone can give me advice please. Normally i have a dd of £200 per month for the above bill with the company unicom but today I went to my bank and they have take £3300 from my account. I called them and they said they money is theirs as I owe them this for the years bills as The £200 was an estimate.
Where do I stand with this. I cant afford for them to be taking that from my account.
Any advice please?

ofcom - are you sure this is the correct name of your supplier ?
Check your emails as see if they have given you advance notice of the DD - if not contact your Bank and get them to reimburse you the DD.
Have you ever looked at your bills ? What was the bottom line on your last bill ?
Doesn't sound right.Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0 -
It is not normal to pay water and electricity together, are you sure?.
£200 per month sounds a lot never mind £3300.4kWp, South facing, 16 x phono solar panels, Solis inverter, Lincolnshire.0 -

If u r 4 real, hope you get it sorted KD.0 -
Consumer law doesn't apply here, I assume hairdressing shop would use far more than a consumer too, hair-dryers etc use a lot of energy, having said that I assume you been under paying and this could be a big catchup bill. Can you post your usage over some dates0

As per my post #5 - meter readings please
This forum is primarily domestic the contracts for business can be complex.Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0 -
