    Thanks for tris info . Have looked . this is what is showing ,if it makes sense ??

    H 56798.50 kwh Rate 1 
    J 23510.48kwh Rate2
    K 022.50 pence Rate 2
    I  038.40 pence Rate 1
      No debts showing 
      Bearing in mind i have not topped up yet to get the new rates.
    Yes, all makes sense .Need to do a top up to get those rates lowered. You do not want to be using night storage on the day rates .It will prob drop to 32/33 p a kwh but its still very pricey .
     Next thing is to find out exactly what time the cheap night rate kicks in and out . There should be a code on the night rate register to show if its active or not . The rate will start to advance . If possible  do all the heavy use appliances on night rate especially electric shower   , tumble dryer etc 
    In my area in the summer its on BST which started at 1.30 am  ( 12.30 on GMT ) to 8.30 am ( 7.30 in GMT ) but your area may be a different timing . plus the timer clocks do drift away from their set times .
    That night rate there is quite high at 22 p a unit but thats SSE for you. Have a look at EDF s published rates for your area for Eco 7 as they have much lower rates for Eco 7..
