if you are on a smart meter or a fixed price contract you don't need to, and I have both :laugh:

Actually I owe you an apology Arista, my son is with British gas and apparently he will pay his DD as normal, then a few days later they will deposit 66/67 in his bank account so you need to check how your provider is dealing with the 400.00 as its not uniform across the industry

Anyone know if a September energy usage will cover the bill issued in early October?

We did ours a few days ago so presumably we will be fine !?!

Protests have been taking place across the UK on a day of action highlighting issues including the increased cost of living and the climate crisis.

Enough is Enough, a campaign set up in response to the rising cost of living, held events in cities across the UK.

It comes on the day energy price rises came into effect for millions.

Members of Extinction Rebellion (XR), Just Stop Oil and the Revolutionary Communist Group (RCG) were also among those marching in London on Saturday.

Thousands attended the demonstrations, which also coincided with postal and rail strikes. People attended rallies in cities including Birmingham, Glasgow and Belfast.

No the deduction is from usage 1st Oct onwards

Just had an email from my energy company. They've put the £66.00 into my account.

I estimate after paying October's bill, I'll still have around £16.00 in the kitty, :)

But that's thanks to Sunak. :D

Thanks. I'll see what happens when I get the bill in five days time. :)

Thats OK.

Its good I made a thread on this whole topic

I don't know about anyone else, but my energy company are rubbish at setting out a bill.

Take this October £66.00 energy grant. I received an email last week saying that the £66.00 had been credited to my account and will be used in my October bill.

Got my bill in today, £42.00 give or take a few pence. Which if I can do my sums correctly I am still £24.00 in energy credit. But nowhere on my account does it say this £24.00 will be rolled over the November, giving my £91.00 energy credit because it rises to £67.00.

Hopeless. Or is it me who's hopeless?:joker:

mmm thats odd you should email them and ask for a breakdown, prices went up on 1st Oct by about 30% did you factor this in, they should ne able to give you figures, the 67.00 is coming off your electric bill it wont show in your gas account (as not everyone has gas)

i would imagine there will be a lot of mistakes

Yeah well that's why I am posting on here because their supposed 'winning app' is hopeless. Absolutely no breakdown at all.

I tried phoning yesterday and always unavailable customer service. Obviously a lot of people trying to get the same info' as me. :fist:

I don't use gas. Just electric.

Cheers. :)

oh okay that should make it easier to work out then, although they should still give you a proper breakdown, I think Marin Lewis said some households which had energy bills around 1500 would be the sweet spot where their electric would be paid in full each month

Managed to get in touch with them. Yes, my October bill has been paid using the £66.00 energy grant, and money has been rolled over to November, plus the £66.00 for November. And £67.00 in December.

An email confirmation the bill has been paid has been received. :)

But the account 'information' is pretty much non-existent.

I just got the first one by mail.
I need to go to the post office to get the vouchers..

Everyone round to Vanessa's for a party tonight

:laugh::dance:

whoo

I was a bit cold last night in the living room, so instead if turning on any heating, I grabbd an old duvet from the cupboard and wrapped it round me. :hee:

Warm as toast and saved a few quid, too. :D:hee:

I always have my cover when I'm on my sofa. It keeps me warm.

Its going to be 20 degrees in London next week

The highest duvet tog the better.

The possibility of occasionally not having heat from 4pm to 7pm ??

I’ll just go for an hours long run/jog .. feel fabulous and it takes a while to cool down afterwards ..

I do worry for all the sick and elderly people though
