    Hi @Karln,

    They are overwhelmed with enquiries at the moment, mainly their own fault but it it what it is and you can expect 5 to 6 days for replies on social media and longer for emails.

    As long as the meter readings are correct and your bills are correct, I'd suggest just waiting and seeing if it settles down over the next month or so.

    @Karln I can see what the issue is. The gas was taken before the electric and it has produced the dates on the statements above. I've sorted this now and will pop a reminder on your account so that we get readings once a month.

    There would have been automatic ones on the 1st October, as you have a smart meter, as these are needed for the tariff changes. This coupled with the EBSS payments I think it looks like a lot more than expected. I'm sorry this is causing you so much stress. Is there anything else I can help you with billing wise that might b=put your mind at ease?

    Anyway I can help, I will,

    Thanks for that @Karln

    This is your transactions page and not the meter readings page but looking at the dates, I think I know what's happened here.

    With your Smart Meter readings, a billing calendar change will have been applied to your account. This will have probably resulted in you receiving more than one statement during a 1 month period whilst your account balances out.

    From what I understand, your account has now been set to send us your readings on the 21st of each month - this means going forward, you should receive a statement on the 21st/22nd of each month as the meters will have been instructed to send us the reads on this date only, so you can have a monthly statement for both gas and electricity going forward (the first after these changes have been applied to your account, being the charges up to 20th October showing at the top of your screenshot).

    So next month, you'll see this again on your online account, above the 20th October will be '20th November' outlining your gas and electricity charges between those dates (the readings will show for 21st November, with the charges on that page online showing as 'up to' 20th November.

    This has been going on for over 3 months now.

    Electric.

    @Karln There is a known issue with fixed tariff prices and the energy price guarantee - I popped a thread up here. I am still awaiting a response though as to what the plan is for everyone affected by this issue.

    All smart meters pull readings every 6 months - usually 1st April and 1st October 😊 Regardless of what tariff you are on.
