Energy Bill

What’s the name of your tariff? Is it due to end soon? If you’ve been on a low fix for the last couple of years or so then you will see your bills go up by a lot more than the 54% that happened in April. All this, along with the fact you are in debt this time of year indicates you weren’t paying enough to cover you usage which is why your payments have gone up so much.

I have checked my account and the 4 electric bills from April-August (4 months since the price rise) are between £41 and £49 each month (average of £45) yet my DD is now £98 per month with a projected usage of £1,005 per year 🙄🙄
£45 x 12 is £540 which is roughly half of that 🙄🙄🤬🤬

Summer bills are lower than winter ones. Averaging April-to-August is not particularly informative.

Do you have meter readings for a year ago, and for now? Or for your August 2021 bill and your August 2022 one?

Your bills will show your Estimated Annual Consumption for each of electricity and gas. what are these values?

When did your direct debit last go up?  If it didn't rise significantly in April you could now be having two rises in one go.

Our electric bill is usually around the same each month throughout the year,£39 per month DD has covered it for the last 2-3 years before the price rise

iElectrocity prices have however doubled in the past year, and gas prices have trebled.

If you can share your EAC values we can work out a likely annual cost and monthly payment.
