    Ang even if ops statement is true?? £35000 about 10 years worth of usage.
    Or..... I wonder how big a bill you could rack up if you thought it was ‘all you can eat’ and left expensive heaters on 24/7?

    At the moment 3 pages in of people wasting time commenting and trying to give advice? 

    To the Op, who I doubt  will be back?

    They never do.  I sometimes wonder if some of the posters like the OP think the forum is a glorified "contact MSE" thing where somebody will phone them back and take up their case (consumer crusader or similar), the posts are genuine and somebody just wanted a moan, or somebody's overflowing with creative juices.

    Always remember a post that was made in here a while back (in fact it was this one) that read like a crime dystopian novel synopsis.  I'm 95% certain that was a fabrication and I'm almost as sure the OP is as well.  Can't prove it either way for either post but...

    I wonder if it is someone who has a grudge against a firm(NPower in this case) and believes such posts will damage the reputation of the company.
    The repeated use of terms like 'single disabled parent', with 'disabled child', 'homeless', 'steal' adds weight to that theory.

    When someone makes their post about discrimination and human rights, but doesn't actually say why their supplier thinks they owe £35k, it's likely to scare off many people.
    You don't solve a problem by complaining about discrimination. You solve it by working out what the underlying problem is, and getting that corrected.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
