Gas Bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May's Bill £38

Just Got An Overdue Letter For My Gas Bill. First Thing, I Never Got The Bill In The First Place Which Is Seriously Annoying Secondly They Want, Wait For It........£161.05 For May - July. Im Single, Live On My Own And Only Use Gas For The Ch. May - July £161!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive Just Been On The Phone For Ages To Some Asian Call Centre Getting F All. What A Joke

 

wow...is it an estimate..???

 

Who arre you with?

 

no thats the overdue amount I owe based on a reading they apparantly took on the 14th July. The metre is on the outside and I regularly see the guy knocking about looking at them. The fact that they do the bills online and Ive never been told is annoying enough but to go from £38 (which is a large bill for me) to £161 is just a joke. To make it worse, it was a terrible line and I struggled to make out what they were saying. Ive also got an overdue bill for the leccy, again, its done online except I dont know anything about it. I need to take this to governing body or summat, Im not paying that amount.

 

powergen

 

powergen are dirty fcukers like that - i got hit for an 800+ quid mis estimate when i switched to a greener electricity plan earlier this year.

 

There getting seriously dumped for this. Im hoping that I can sort the bill out but to say its all gone online without telling me is a disgrace.

 

£161 that's crazy, was the first bill (£38) an estimate? I mean that is along the lines of what our bill was from Feb to May (even I thought that was high for us), we're with BG.
Hope you get this sorted, oh ya and having call centres outside the UK should be illegal, can't understand a word they say, and I expect they can't understand you, what is the point, (oh ya to expolit poor countries and to save them money I forgot).

 

Even on our gas card (thanks to previous tenants being junkie lowlifes) we pay less than £40 a month even in winter, for a 3 bed house over 3 floors with - get this - NO double glazing!

Powergen are taking the piss - tell them you'll pay them back at a penny a month if they don't come and read your meter immediately. Tossers.

EDIT: agree with Lee - no disrespect to Indian call centres, but if you can't understand them, what's the point? Mind you, they're getting better - although NONE of them seem to understand the phrase "Polsloe Bridge" when you're trying to get train times - he he.

 

Im getting nowhere with them. In the last month Ive used two units of gas and it doesnt rise that much over winter. They want a reading every day for the next 7 days to see what my usage is. I can see Im not going to get anything out of them here, Ive been stung for a HUGE bill and Im going to have to pay it.
