Cheeky Bloody Electricity Company!!
Right! Bit of a rant coming up!
Basically before Bex left we got a letter from the electricity company, saying our current direct debit of x amount was not enough, and they recommend that we change our direct debit, as it was not covering the amount of electricity we were using. Without giving it a second thought I left it at that. Now I’ll admit to one thing, I hardly ever pay any attention to my bills, and as long as there is a direct debit set up making sure the bills are covered, and that I have enough money in my account to cover this I leave it at that. Anyway, by chance I happened to notice my Electricity bill whilst looking for something else in my file of bills and random things. Basically over x amount of months I’ve managed to get myself nearly £300 in credit with them! The cheeky thing is they dont send you letters telling you! They just sit there watching your money fill up! Cheeky twats! Anyway I decided enough was enough, and that I wanted to lower my payments and also wanted the money back, as it would serve a better purpose in my bank account rather than theirs! Rang them and explained that I’ve been paying far too much over how ever many months it’s been, and that I wanted to lower my payments. All OK according to the bloke, but lets see how easy it is to get them to part with my money! Hmmmm. Anyway that was on Monday. Thursday I walk through the door, and they had sent me a bloody letter. Claiming that as part of their REGULAR REVIEW of my account, THEY have come to the conclusion that x quid a month is far too much, and that they suggest Y quid a month instead! Which just so happened to be the same amount that I TOLD THE ON THE PHONE I wanted to pay! :? So do they only review peoples account if they ring up and want money back? Also I’m due another bill later this month, so not gonna chase my money, until I know what they next bill is, and how much I’m in credit with them! IF it’s a substantial amount, and it takes forever to get the money out of them I’ll just visit uswitch.com, and change my supplier! I just couldnt believe the cheek of the letter!!
