Scottish Power and bills

50Twuncle

I keep on having to go on to scottishpower.co,uk to revert my billing to £35 per monrh - Scottish power keep on changing it to £60 - the expected result being a debt of £145 which is covered by Warm Homes - why won't they leave my billing as I have set it ?

Because the WHD isn't a guaranteed payment and the awards aren't made until some time in October ??

But - they estimate that by the end of the year - if I pay £40 - I will be £360 in debt !!

This is NOT true

For the last 10 years - my billing has been £30 max per month

and even then - I have built up credit

I am a fairly low user !

Disregard your past £30 per month,thats not relevant.What is relevant is your unit consumption and your unit rates.

£30 a month "billing" in the summer is plausible, but £30 a month "billing" in the winter sounds too low unless you happen to live in a property that's triple-glazed, is insulated to the heavens and then some more, and you rarely run any form of heating at all, preferring thick jumpers and blankets.

Is this dual-fuel or electric only?  If its electric only then a £30 a month "bill" is ridiculously low by any stretch of the imagination in the winter.

What is your annual usage and your unit rates and standing charges?

Dual fuel and our usage is average daily 1.8kWh elec and 15kWh gas
The house is a 3 bed semi which is well insulated and not cold

Rates?  Standing charge?
