These electric bills in the uk are stressing me out

@Fluffybull we are with eon next and we send our readings in every month. They send us a bill and we pay it

Well they charged us an estimate reading from march to August 1st, based on their estimated readings, and deducted what we have paid and the want us to pay the difference but its stupid because we are paying our actual energy usage but it diesnt correspond with the companys estimated amount.

So they could send a meter guy out to check we are telling the truth but instead they want us to pay the difference and over pay. If thats the case why the hell are we providing meter readings and why qre they asking us 5 months later to back pay. I dont get it. Its so sloppy i just dont know if anyone else had this happen. Ive been in the uk over a year but the last place we lived it was prepaid.

@DarkSideoftheMoon Can't you just change to paying quarterly and provide readings every quarter?

@Fluffybull ill ask if we can do that. Someone told us to get a smart meter. That that would be much easier than sending readings and paying more in estimates so we were going to do that but someone said dont do it and didnt say why

@DarkSideoftheMoon No you can vent s much as you need. The Gas and Electric is ridiculous. The Electric especially because we produce more than enough to cover the country and yet it's gone up it price. What frustrates me is that not half a mile away there is a wind farm so why is my electric bill so high? As for Gas we are the only country within Europe that can store it and we have too much and are struggling to give it away to other countries. So again why is it so high. Petrol is ridiculous too especially when companies share results that their 1/4 year profits are £9bn

@VirginMatchmaker yeah apparently prices are rising because of we are using or burning too much but i guess its not naturalised anymore so its all profit.

@DarkSideoftheMoon exactly, it's disgusting.

@Barny52 yeah but i got a bill today wanting me to pay the extra difference because my actual readings are less than their estimated ones like wtf!

@DarkSideoftheMoon im with eon and never had that ! Used to get a email with estimates if that was higher than my reading would send my reading in and just be charged on my reading, at end of day the meter can’t be cheated its a running total. Perhaps the prices have gone up and it down to that ! I’ve never had a problem with smart meter

@Barny52 im with eon next too. We have to call them but i think we will go with yhe smart meter

@Fluffybull They are only making you do what they used to pay visiting meter-readers to do.

@ninalanyon same here in the UK you only get an estimated if you haven't put your readings in on time.

@Fluffybull essentially i think its our tariff but being from q different country i dont understand how this is all worked out. Im a bit confused because in America they charge us on what we used, not estimates.

@Pfuzylogic we went from £1.90 a litre to £1.70 a litre.

Comes out to still almost $10 a gallon if i had to convert it. Stupid expensive 😒

When i get back from maternity leave im transfering my job closer to home and walking to work.

@DarkSideoftheMoon
Nice to have work close enough for a commute.

@Pfuzylogic yeah its easy to get around without a car where i live, luckily. My husband drives so its not so bad but i can work closer to home.

@nedkelly ill 100% do that. Its bullshit. Complete scam

@BluntSm0ker but i like to stare my opponent down during battle and i enjoy the face they make when they cum 😏

@DarkSideoftheMoon understandable ☹️

@DarkSideoftheMoon You must have a electricity ombudsman you can complain to

@nedkelly yeah we have a civil advice number or something. Its literally on the bill lol explains a lot

@SW-User why

@Gangstress i feel like all ive been speaking to is idiots when dealing with customer reps 😫

@Ryannnnnn we are going to call them tomorrow and sort it out. Its ridiculous

@DarkSideoftheMoon they want double of what we actually used in 5 months

@swirlie ok thanks so much ❤ i wish they would have explained that when we first moved in because we are completely blindsided and confused 😕

No that is an estimate that also makes no sense and i have no idea how they came up with

This is my bill

@Darksideinthenight2 yeah definitely
