    My back of an envelope calculation gives me £600-700 for 1700 units including standing charges based on a bug if average of price capped rates.

    So if you have been paying about £10 a month probably only £360-460 owing. You could mention back billing rules and offer then half what you owe and see how far you get. Stress you will take this to Ombudsman (thanks @Gerry1)

  • Hi,
    1700 units in 2 years seems low, just over 2 units a day?
