Energy

ElenaGeorgieva

Hello everyone,

I live in a 1 bedroom flat, 1 person occupancy, and have received extremely high energy bills so I am looking for advice on how to fight this with the energy companies.

I moved into my current property in September 2018 and gave the meter readings to SSE, they estimated my cost per month for electricity only and I set up a direct debit going out every month. Last year, I decided to change the energy supplier and gave my meter readings to my new supplier which passed them on to SSE for the final bill. When the bill came through, SSE told me I owe them £2,071.58 for 12 months of energy use. This is a very high amount for a 1 bedroom flat.

Now my current supplier tells me that I owe them £1,480 for 9 months of energy use.

I work full time and am not home between 7.30 am and 8 pm every day so my heating is on a timer and is off for the 11 or hours I am not home.

The energy company arranged for a check meter to be installed which showed that the electricity meter is working OK. I also had an independent electrician coming in and saying that there is nothing out of the ordinary and it is impossible for me to have used so much energy.

Has anyone experienced such/similar situation?

Thank you in advance.
