Extreme Gas Bill

[frettful38]

I have just received my gas bill from British Gas, :eek:, I get my bills sent through emails paperless billing. I was absolutely gob smacked:-o when I saw the total. First thing is that for the last two months I have spent a lot of time looking after my sick mum, leaving home about 9 a.m and returning well past midnight. I have only cooked about a handful of times and cannot understand how I could have run up so much gas. Can someone see if this gas bill makes sense. I sent a new meter reading a few days ago and have not heard anything from British Gas yet, but I believe this a very high bill and how can I dispute this, :-xmy last gas bill was £118.00 this is nearly 3 times more

If this is the price for heating then I may have to start building my own bonfire outside in my garden to keep warm

Its an estimated bill, ignore it if you have provided them with the correct readings as they will send a revised bill out to you. I assume the reading you gave is lower than the estimated reading?

Yes it is lower clare, I will see if they send me a revised bill, the tossers.

You should be able to work out what your bill should be using your reading and the conversion they have added to your bill. Unfortunately its not someone sitting there entering readings, its that lame old excuse of an automated system. They will only ASSUME you were there so would have estimated based on that scenario and also previous years usage.
