I've spoken to So Energy, my new provider, because my reading of 10 January 2019 (6953) was referred to the Central Gas Industry for validation and the opening reading was revised to 6989 (36 extra units). I had thought it was Avro who had referred it for validation! In fact it was SOE who did so and now I am embroiled with SOE who tell me all opening readings are validated - if so why are these not subject to change? I have told SOE that I am a single user/owner/resident and have never had my readings disputed.
I want to know the website for the Central Gas Industry - I haven't been able to find it - does anyone know? I shall want to ask whether it is in their gift to spend time working out the validity of readings!!
I wouldn't worry too much about the increased hand-over gas readings because, at the moment, it's a fair bet that your new supplier's prices are more expensive than the old tariff you were on - so the more energy charged to the old supplier the cheaper it will be for you in the long run. But you won't get as much of a refund as you may have expected.
The main energy-industry companies are Elexon for electricity and Xoserve for gas but, as far as I know, the validation service is not open to access by energy customers. It is, anyway, an automated process so the best anyone would be able tell you is what the "computer" says. It is a long process to challenge and there needs to be a sufficient discrepancy for a challenge to be accepted.
Sorry this isn't much help but there is not much anyone can do.Warning: In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.0 -
Just renewed with AVRO on new Fixed Rate only launched this week Simple & Prime which is £25 less than their last Fixed Rate.
Personally had no issues with AVRO but then again never had to contact them & still offer the most competitive FIXED rate with NO exit fees.0 -

In precis they didn't confirm the switch, when challenged said it was up to MSE/CEC to do this, told MSE/CEC that the switch had failed and as of my last contact with MSE/CEC haven't paid their intro fee or even responded to them so I'm still waiting for my cashback.
As they never confirmed the switch they didn't notify me of the increased DD, then claimed they must have and when asked to provide proof responded with "I will not be discussing this matter with you any further".
Good luck.0 -

Just noticed that today but I only renewed 2 weeks ago.

After a mild winter and low demand for the time of year, I wonder if is this an indication that energy prices have peaked for the time being. :jWarning: In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.0 -

However, it looks like you can also change online, although maybe not if you've already got a change pending.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the In My Home MoneySaving, Energy and Techie Stuff boards.

Switched from one of the Cheap Energy Club’s mass switch deals with British Gas 2 years ago to Avro. The switch was very smooth with no issues whatsoever. We switched again once that deal came an end to another Avro fixed price deal on their website. Very easy to do. Only had cause to contact them once (a simple query about Smart Meters) and had a very quick response. They allow you to switch at any time without early exit fees so there’s nothing to lose from giving them a try. Although they are a small energy supplier don’t let it put you off. Over two years with them and nothing but positives so far!0

My bills havn't been updated since November. I submitted meter readings in December and February which are registered on their system but no updated bills. My account is still saying it is £421 in credit (from November), my usage is far less than any of their estimates so I assume will be even higher by now and despite asking for a refund in December I havn't had it.
Reading other posts here I'm really concerned and considering switching supplier as a way to get my money back - is this what I should be doing?"Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it."0 -

If you haven't already, email them a message titled COMPLAINT and ask why you haven't had an statements. IME they say they will respond to emails within 5 working days, and that is exactly how long they take.
You can then follow their official complaints procedure if you don't get a resolution.
It took me a month to get the DD reduced to a more realistic level, by which time they had taken another payment at the higher amount.That was all done by email because it was impossible to get through by phone. Also meant there was a documented history of the discussion.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the In My Home MoneySaving, Energy and Techie Stuff boards.
