I’m having the similar problem and have had the same problems in the past with other utility companies. it seem it a practice some energy companies are using to scam..I recently was told I was £600 in debit as I complained about the estimated readings when I do send in actual readings. I’ve looked over past years of bills and noticed this had been going on for a while. I couldn’t understand why my bill was so high when I’m hardly using much energy. I stupidly paid as I was getting threatening letters for disconnection. They said they can only go back one year . That’s totally not fair. Now I refused to pay anymore until sorted.0
