Scottish power

Hi. I have just moved into a house with only two small electric heaters which we never use. After 110 days of being in the property we got a bill of £321.As I phoned them believing this was too much our bill rose to
 £1500. After panicking and a million phone calls I have still not been able to resolve the situation as even with everyone at Scottish Power telling me that is proberbly impossible to rack up them figures they are still demanding that money which is now £3000 as we have been to cab and osbudsmantto sort this. Can anyone help?

    Welcome to the forum.
    You need to provide far more evidence otherwise people will think this is just a wind up.  Did you register with SP and give a meter reading when you moved in?  What is the meter reading now, and what is the cost of those kiloWatts hours based on the published price of your SP tariff?  What did Citizens Advice and the Ombudsman say?
    Please post a photo of the bill with personal info redacted.

    Have you been reading the meter and giving the readings to SP > If not your bills probably have lots of E's on them.

    Also a photo of your meter. Please read your meter and give us details.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill
