Moved into rented accomodation, BG guesstimate our monthly bill at £33.50

With 5 small rads and no gas cooker, just a small electric one.

Sound okay?

They also reckon the reading they've got of the meter is a LOT higher than the one we can see from the meter :rolleyes:

Thanks

Gas? Electricity? Both?

Last sentence not understood? The reading(gas? Electricity?) BG is working from is higher than the actual reading? Presumably theirs is an estimated reading?

Just gas - the electricity is with EDF who told the missus today that the flat (in a small court of flats) is on a business tariff and recommended that we fax through a letter stating it's a domestic household pronto

Aye, BG say the reading we gave them of the gas meter here with us differs fairly substantially from what they've got their end. Mind you I think the flat's been emoty for a few months so if they weren't told I'm guessing that they'll keep estimating usage as if someone was here?

So £33.50 a month for 5 gas radiators ONLY.

Cardew

About right I would think.

You may have to send edf a copy of your council tax bill if they continue to bill you as business.
The way to tell is the VAT, 17.5% for businesses, 5% for domestic.
