E-OnNext billing error

Unusually after many years of error free smart meters the latest split-month recalculation to take account of tariff change was incorrect. I was re-billed for several months. I urge everyone to check their bills. E-On Next did correct the error quickly. I just don't see how that could happen with a hands-off computer system.

    Good advice!

    Everyone should check their bills/statements carefully whenever they receive them, whatever supplier supplies them. :smile: )
  • I have a smart meter but still read my meters manually every month and work out my bill, both monthly and annually, via a spreadsheet.  I like always knowing exactly where I am, based upon my own calcs which I then crosscheck with my supplier's.
  • Thanks, if neither of you noticed anything wrong with e-on's billing this month then I know it was just me. They don't know how it happened either! I am very nervous about N-Power being merged with E-On then thousands of customers of failed utilities being taken on that these problems may escalate,

    E.oN announced on the 7th May that all of NPower’s customers had been migrated to E.on Next. That is, the migration was completed 6 months ago.
  • Provided E-On have expanded their customer support team to match then fine. Just at the moment though they are pretty busy.

    Strikes me that they have done the opposite - they had a small but useful team of advisers who posted on these forums - They told us that they were being made redundant (or "redeployed") with the move to EON Next
