Npower - 2 years of hell

Work out your correct consumption as best you can some other way - use the bills from before the new meter was installed, insist that npower provide copies of your unamended bills, or wait until you have some bills from the new meter.The amount of debt is still very high: have you been paying anything on account? Has Npower been billing you - albeit, using inflated meter readings?
From then we were paying £99 (at N-power say so) until around June this year when for some reason the monthly direct debit dropped to £74 (N-Power say so...).
Then in September (I believe) they stated it would increase to £344 a month, that is when I really went at it. They agreed to keep payment at £74 until meter had been checked, and here we are. Still paying the £74 a month, as I would rather stay ahead than behind.
In my eyes I think we have overpayed massively and that has not been taken into account, maybe it has, but it doesn't seem to have if we still owe £1000+, just doesn't seem right.
I really appreciate everyones advice! as said, not an expert in the slightest. I just get a bill and pay usually (Roughly aware of how much it should be).0 -
Before Dec 18, should mention that we were voluntarily paying £100 a month to try and keep up.0

Does anyone know if I can request all records N-power hold of conversations, notes on account, bills etc via freedom of information request? Is that possible?0

Just logged into Npower account and it appears that they have removed all the old bills/statements when they have complied the new statements reflecting the change. Would I be able to get them back?
Here is last month when the new meter was installed:

303 kWh at 14.790p £44.81

I will obviously take some proper time out later and dig deeper into the bills and see if I can find anything.
They removed a load of readings off my account, they've got history of this. Imagine what'd happen to you if you did that yet they can get away with it. Luckily I took photos of mine. Hope you can take them to the cleaners to be honest, good luck.:D0 -

Thank you! That's the aim. Well, to be honest, my aim is to clear the account in full and let us leave as we can't because of this stupid debt.0 -
What about your bills for 2016 or 2015 ? At a minimum you must be able to discover what you paid.
And if there are not too many estimated bills you should be able to calculate your consumption in kwh.0 -
