Next door neighbour, same set up as us all the same heaters etc, she only pays £43 per month by DD and she owes naff all (apologies if naff is deemed as bad language, wasn't intentional). There is something wrong here and hence why I asked Energywatch to step in. Currently we had to agree to a pre payment meter going in and the debt still keeps rising and by considerable amounts.
So paying a certain agreed fee per month can land you right in the poop. it's not just ourselves it's happened to either.
Waiting for Energywatch to deal with this and depending on the outcome, I will be taking further action (legal) against Scottish Power. |
How would this be any different if you were paying quarterly? You'd still be "using" the same amount either way.
The timing of the payments has nothing to do with the overall amount of energy used. It does however have a big difference on the amount you pay per unit for the amount you use.
