Rizzo Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Energy companies. Switched energy supplier recently and my old supplier stuck me with a bill for £1200 yesterday after I'd put in our last set of meter readings in Feb. Phoned them up last night to complain and according to them we put an incorrect meter reading in over a year and a half ago (lower than the previous one). They never picked up the mistake so now claim I owe them £850 due to my account being £400 in credit and us underpaying from near on 2 years. Tonight's phonecall will be interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll insist that as you as you used that energy it will have to be paid for.

Well, that's true but I meant a bit Father O'Field. Primarily to the east coast, USA. I'm anticipating a lot of airport food. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will get all the details off them tonight and see what the CAB have to say before I shell out £800. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I was correct and your poem/song is lost on me. Jesus Gordon, I’m rushing about after work trying to get a coffee before going to play football.
