Sainsbury Energy Final Bill - It doesn't make sense

[penmarine]

I've had a final bill from Sainsburys Energy (Dual Fuel) as I've changed provider and

 

the amount they are asking for are ludicrous.

 

I had a bill on the 19 Dec 13, then 09 Jan and finally 10 Jan 14.

 

They say I owe them just over £330 for approx 40 odd days gas and electricity.

 

Has anyone else had this type of problem,

 

I was planning on ringing customer services tomorrow for a full breakdown of everything paid and usage etc before any money gets paid to them.

 

If I'd have known it was going to be so much hard work changing supplier I wouldn't have bothered.

 

I'm sure it was a lot less painless the last time I changed suppliers. Ta PM

Perhaps you could provide a bit more detail like units used, and cost per unit. Then we can see whether this is reasonable or unreasonable usage for the period. Also there is probably a standing charge as well so how much was that.

The final bill is calculated on the meter reads provided by the new supplier.

 

Check with your new supplier what reads they have opened on and tell them if they're incorrect.

you need 2 sets of readings, the correct one from your last bill and the correct one from the termination date. i bet your previous was an estimated one and that isnt going to help you calculate things
