Eon next cleared out my credit

Just submitted a meter reading to find my £600 balance has turned into a £130 debt.

I'm from Symbio and not even had an Eon bill yet.

Anyone else had this?

    Just submitted my meter read today, had (two) received your meter read e-mail and - approx 45 minutes later - got my first pdf Bill from them via another e-mail.  Seems almost correct (very slightly lower than my calculation, almost certainly due to rounding errors on the inc vat/exc vat calculations).

    ex Symbio customer (with no credit to transfer).

    You'd best tell us your opening meter read(s) with eOn (3rd/4th October) and the one you submitted today... plus the tariff rates for your location... Then we can help you to do the calculations, if necessary.

    Will do. They replied to my email and are investigating. I was surprised they debt the account without a bill.

    Ok, I've not had a bill yet despite doing readings each month since starting October.

    You used approx 3000 units in those 3 months -   that would cost about £700

    With no more DD's being taken your £130 credit would be rapidly eroded.

    That is about £680.  As above as soon as you submit a read they calculate it and add the debit to the account, a bill should follow fairly quickly - mine was around an hour or so. Have you not submitted a read previously ?  Just had my second bill after my end of Nov submission.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Ok yet that figures, it was a £600 balance, I've done three readings but no bill. I think I am down one payment due to Symbio not taking it. Welcome to the price cap I suppose.

    PS you are very high user.

    I assume you are all electric using panel heaters.

    So... They'll bill to 30th Dec using those meter reads..  89 days standing charge @ £0.2404 / day = £21.40

    Day 24772 - 22664 =  2108 + Night 27152 - 26211 = 941. So Units Total = 3048 units @ £ 0.2156 / kWh = £657.15

    E.On Bill = £678.55 for 3 months of electric...  Not quite what you have claimed in the OP?? So there's something "amiss" somewhere?  Albeit not that far off?

    Your pdf bill may be on its way - or log into your account to see if it's there yet?  They do say it can take a couple of days...
