I recieved and email telling my tarrif runs out next month but during my current tarrif they dropped the amount from £220 to £180 Im thinking great thats brill. But I noticed my credit was going down???. But I was still paying £216 but they were taking it away from my credit and I was stupid and didnt check so now I was at £300 I'm down to £190
My concern is the new tarrif they are offering are lovely low around £180 but I don't think that will be building up my credit for Winter?
The standing Electricty charge is crazy on them all currently Im on 49p per day their now 68p per day. Its hard enough with my Son disabled who needs a ventilator on 24/7 to actually live and all of his other equipment on charge so I can go out for appoitnments or take him out to get him out of his room.
Now no matter which I choose their all the same in daily charges but Ive no idea which one to actually choose
The monthly direct debit amounts shown in the illustrations of the tariffs available to you are based on your estimated annual consumption (EAC) divided by 12. Is the annual consumption shown on the illustrations realistic?
You can use your EAC to work out your estimated annual cost on your current tariff and compare the monthly cost to what you are seeing on the tariffs on offer.
As to why your credit balance is going down currently whilst you are overpaying, I don’t know. Are your statements based on actual monthly readings or are they estimates? You haven’t provided enough information to allow accurate answers.
I'm an Eon Next dual fuel customer with no particular expertise but have some time on my hands that I am using to try and help out a bit.
while you have been on a fixed tariff standing charges have risen, but unit charges have dropped a lot so overall bills are down.
in considering another fix going forward, one has to guess what is likely to happen to prices in the future, which is almost impossible. But if you think prices are likely to rise then go for a long fix and if you think they’re likely to fall go for a discounted variable tariff.
energy bills change due to prices and consumption levels, and account balances will change due to overall bills and payments in. But basically getting the tariff right is the thing to focus on. If the tariff has zero escape penalties then risk of getting trapped on a less optimal tariff is reduced.
Current Eon Next and EDF customer, ex Zog and Symbio. Don't think dual fuel saves money and don't like smart meters. Chronologically Gifted. If I offend let me know by private message, but I’ll continue to express my opinions nonetheless.

Whats availble for me is
Next Secure Fixed 12m v14
and
Next Pledge Tracker 12m v5
Top one has exit fees of £50 each but £179.50 per month and will be fixed
Bottom one is £167.15 but with no exit fees but I assume because it's not fixed it would go up and down depending on the market????
I'd probably go for the top one as I am paying that in cash the rest is coming off my credit, I really dont know which one to choose
There are many more as well theres even a 2 year fixed but thats £193 with £100 exit fees
