household bills

[plippy]

Got the gas bill threw last week for the past quaterly bill, estimated at £155, we then checked the numbers on the meter then rang in the numbers we read and the new bill came threw at £65, bit of a difference.

 

i wonder how many of us just think that the estimate is rite and just pay it:thumbdown:

Tell me about it

Had my gas changed over from metre about six months ago, rang them up to change it back as I’m planning on going abroad to work, turns out that they hadn’t been D Debiting me

I just got a 6 monthly for £800, going through the process of fighting it at the moment.

mrs plippy would just pay it but i challenge every houshold bill, worth it in the long run

I know theres a difference between estimated and real readings, but at the end of the day you pay for what you use when the proper bill is done anyway so it makes no odds except to cashflow.

 

As the the DD i've done that myself you look, see it hasn't come out and ignore it, it always bites you in the end.........

You should be grateful that you are on mains gas, heating oil costs a b fortune.

Not to mention the cost of having to replace the old storage tank (bunded) and all the pipework.

Its even worse when your getting charged business rates.

Best to settle it with an actual reading every month.

 

If not they make you believe everything is well on dd then sting you for a massive nasty £700 bill in january!!
