Found out it was 2 weeks ago the dude came to check the meter Will ring them later to find out whats going on Does anyone have any advice on what to say to them about this?

Will do soon as everyone is awake, then I will post an update here Bloody students haha You have a good day as well and thanks for your help! ^_^

We did get readings when we moved in, however I cannot find the piece of paper they were written on

Just checked the electric meter, it reads as 63290 thats an increase of 372 over the bill. So what does that mean? The central heating hasnt been on, its been too warm, and usually just one or two PCs and 2 laptops on most of the time and rarely anything else. Unsure as to where the Gas meter is in the house, it is likely outside and I need to get ready for the day first lol

Hey everyone, got a frightening bill this morning from Southern Electric/SWALEC amounting to £550.50 for 12 January to 12 April 2010 for the Electric and £160.69 for the same dates on Gas. For 3 weeks during those dates noone was at our property and also the previous readings have all been estimated, this states its been read however the guy came only yesterday to read the meter and this is dated for the 22nd. Without speaking to the others I cant state whether someone actually did come and read the meter, but yeah more on that when I know. Anyways it really is abnormally high, our previous gas and electric bills have been about 60 on electric and 30 on gas, thats between four of us. We've only been living here since September as well and it's a student property so if they think that means we wont argue it then they are very wrong indeed lol Any advice and help would be great Thanks Cloud ---------------------- The strange markings on the pieces of compressed tree: Electric Bill: _____________________________________________ This bill is for the period 15 Jan 2010 to 12 Apr 2010 _____________________________________________ Total From Previous Bill: £55.00 Payment last recieved : -£55.00 Less Your Payments Thank You : -£55.00 ________________________________ Your Electricity Usage: Reading last Reading last Units time time Meter : 1981550 Unrestricted Units 58656 (E) 62928 4272 _____________________________________________ Your Electricty Bill Your Tariff is Domestic Standard 15 Jan 2010 - 31 Mar 2010 Standard energy units 3690 at 12.04p each £444.28 Standing charge at 13.440p for 76 day(s) £10.21 01 Apr 2010 - 12 Apr 2010 Standard energy units 582 at 12.04p each £70.07 Standing charge at 13.440p for 12 day(s) £1.61 ______ Total charges before VAT £526.17 VAT at 5.00% £25.65 (on charges of £526.17 less prompt payment discount offer of £13.12) Total charges this bill including VAT £551.82 Less prompt payment discount from last bill -£1.32 _____________________________________________ Please pay £550.50 _____________________________________________ Phew... now for the Gas Bill! _____________________________________________ This bill is for the period 15 Jan 2010 to 12 Apr 2010 _____________________________________________ Total from previous bill £25.97 Payment recieved 25 Jan 2010 -£25.97 Less your payments -£25.97 _____________________________________ Your gas usage Reading last Reading this Units time time Meter : 000197081 Gas Meter Advance 9026 (E) 9166 140 140 units x factor 100 x correction factor 1.02264 14316.96 14316.96 x conversion factor 0.0283 405.16 405.16 cu mtrs x calorific value 39.2 /conversion factor 3.6 4411.74 Units converted to kilowatt hours 4411.74 _____________________________________________ Your Gas Bill Your tariff is General Saver 15 Jan 2010 - 28 Mar 2010 Standard Energy 3660 kWh at 3.240p each £118.58 Standing charge at 13.360p for 73 day(s) £9.75 29 Mar 2010 - 12 Apr 2010 Standard energy 751.74 kWh at 2.880p each £21.65 Standing charge at 25.570p for 15 day(s) £3.84 _______ Total charges before VAT £153.82 VAT at 5.00% £7.49 (on charges of £153.82 less prompt payment discount off of £3.83) ___________________________________________ Total charges this bill including VAT: £161.31 ___________________________________________ Less prompt payment discount from last bill -£0.62 ___________________ Please pay £160.69 =================================== That took a while lol, big thanks to those who made reading all the way through it and hopefully you have an awesome idea on what I/We should do about this ^_^
