British Gas - Standard Variable Tarriff

So my fix is coming to an end and they are moving in to the Standard Variable Tarriff. My account is showing that I'm already £400+ in arrears although not sure how .... So with the change is it worth doing weekly  meter readings ?

    If you are in arrears, you haven't been paying enough during your fix.  Reading your meter more often won't change this.  You need to use less or pay more.

    Weekly is a bit more than you need, but monthly is always good advice...
    When did you last give a reading to your supplier, and how frequent were you giving them before?
