Interestingly though the annual projection suggests that usage isn't particularly high, so presumably this is something that has only just occurred.
The other questions that occur to me - why has he had a bill for 10 days use? And if the bills are paid in full each month how does he have a debit balance?🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
Balance as at 01/09/23 = £115,000.00 Balance as at 31/12/23 = £112,000.00
Balance as at 31/08/24 = £105,400.00 Balance as at 31/12/24 = £102,500.00

Although looking again, it appears that they are raising multiple bills for a month. It's not possible to see how long a period the previous -£188.03 covers.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Perhaps that DD hasn't gone through yet , or the supplier hasn't called it off, or the DD "bounced"

Apologies that he was he told us on Friday last week, I now realize that the bill says nothing of the sortstewie_griffin said:Also unless there’s another letter, then the OP should really edit the topic as all he’s had is a bill stating when his variable direct debit will be taken. There’s been no threats to cut him off at all.1 -

It might be worth also asking him to let you have copies of his previous bills so you can get an idea what the use was in previous months.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

@mrsg1990 I think a gentle chat with Uncle is due - if he's fiercely independent that may be difficult .
Perhaps that debt has generally frightened him and there has been a lot of scare stories.
Check he's getting the £66, had the £150, qualify for the £324 or other benefits; insurance premiums ....................Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0
