    4 storage rads upstairs - one per bedroom and one on the landing ?  Switch off the bedroom ones and use an extra blanket or duvet. Even more switch off the landing one as well - hot air rises from the one in the lounge.

    Bring in an electrician and sort out the timeswitches ; then a plumber to fix the leaking tap.

    Now what happened last summer to give the high consumption
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    I don't know what the offset payment on 21st Oct 19 was- I didn't pay it. You can see that even though back in January the bill was high, my direct debit was not increased. Would they deliberately leave me underpaying?
    I don't know what it could have been- maybe the children being at home rather than at school?
    We have all the heating off from Easter time

    The 'offset payment' is the same as the previous bill on 29 July.

    I think they've determined that that bill was incorrect, reversed it and charged you £324.82 instead.
