We still can’t send in the meter readings to OVO. Our friends, further down the alphabet, still haven’t been transferred from SSE.

I have a smart meter so the energy supplier doesn't need to read the meter as the readings go straight to them and I should always be within the Plan amount :-)

meter reader came round and i have received a letter stating i owe £1981 and they want £423 a month just for electricity.
After half an hour on hold got through to them and im waiting with bated breath a breakdown as to how they reach that figure.
Any further increase really frightens me, my pension is not elastic

A recent e mail from my supplier wanted £214 a month to meet their expected estimated bills and pay what I owe for fuel used :-0

Haven't heard back yet since we sent in true readings...........

AnnG, they say they are basing it on gas and electricity that I've consumed over a year :-0

Scary isn't it? We think ours will be about the same increase as yours hopefully no more but we don't know for sure yet.

Oh dear Belle. :-(

Our supplier went belly up and were taken over by another one. It’s doubled our monthly contribution but is fixed at the moment.
Time will tell if we can afford it fingers crossed. ;-)

Gosh that is a lot and I bet you won't use as much fuel as they are anticipating.

I've just received a letter from my energy supplier (same for gas & electricity) telling me that due to Ofgem raising the energy cap, my bill will go up by £910 per year from 1 Apr that's an additional £75 per month :-0 :-0.

I'm on their Standard Variable Rate but it's cheaper than their fixed rate, so I'm on their cheapest rate :-0
