I submitted my meter readings on 1 April and have just received my bill. I currently pay £104 a month and it says “good news my payments are spot on and on track to cover expected usage”. Surely this cant be right as I was expecting to pay another £50 odd pounds a month. Anyone else had the same?

No, not on a fixed deal and not in credit. Have definitely cut usage in the last few months but still expected monthly payments to increase.0

Bill is calculated Oct to 31 March and I was in credit by £33 in October. I’m on a standard variable rate.1

Some details from that 31 March bill please. Opening and closing meter reads - ; the closing credit/debitbettydaviseyes said:Bill is calculated Oct to 31 March and I was in credit by £33 in October. I’m on a standard variable rate.
Is this Electric and/or Gas ?Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0 -
But the new higher variable rates did not start until 1 st April so you would still be paying that months use on your old rate.2
