Look after my bills defaulted me to higher tariff

look after my bills defaulted my energy bill to eon who put me on the most expensive tariff. They are now uncontactable and Eon are saying it’s my fault for not choosing a cheaper tariff when that was the only tariff available at the time. They then moved me to a higher tariff without my consent.

    Eon is correct.

    They had your consent.     When a tariff ends, you will be moved to default unless you instruct otherwise.

    The most expensive tariff would be Standard Variable Tariff (SVT), which is what the majority of UK householder are on.
