Checked online banking this morning, as i do every day.
My normal direct debit to BG is £60 per month Gas and £57 per month Electricity. Got the last 1/4ly bill Sept so the monthly amount hasn't changed and i haven't been notified of any intention to change.
The fucking twats have taken £108 for the Gas and £59 for the elctricity. Whenh i phoned them up the nob on the phone told me that "they" have decided that from now on my monthly bill will be £108 for gas and £80 for electric as "i might use more energy in the future".
The over payment has actually left me in credit for both bills.
I have cancelled said direct debit and am switching.
It's only two months ago they took my monthly payment 6 times in one month!

Err,excuse me, what is a cuntwhacker? is a fly swat type thing?
did you tell her you are telling all us on mumsnet, blow by blow? 
ok, have told her i'm in the middle of typing a letter to the press and have asked her for her full name so i can quote her 

This is better than watching telly.
say am not typing, my fingers are convulsing due to stress at having to deal with fuckwits such as she and the fuckwhittering company that she represents..
..they will be typing soon, firing off letter to consumer association, ofgem and mp, can i have your name please
or say what titfortwat said, thats funny !
have told her i am updating my online public blog (mumsnet)
she has put me on hold to speak to her manager
I'm on the edge of my seat here...
Good one, newspirits. Can't wait for the reaction!
Sock it too them, useless bunch of fuckwits, although to give them their due they are no where near as bad as AOL who believe that they do not actually have to provide the service you pay them for 
Funniest thread i've read on here in ages!
Tell her we are all waiting with bated breath and our fingers poised over the USwitch website, depending on her response to you! 
right! The "manager" has now come on the phone and called me ms newfromold (as in mzzz) i have told him that actually i am a miss as in I AM MISSING MY FUCKING MONEY
He has told me i am not allowed to slander BG online???
Quick, give me some more answers for him
have just asked him for his email address so i can send him a link to this thread as i am not slandering anyone, i am merely doing a public service by highlighting their utter crapness.
I am now back on hold

freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
sings along
waits for update - this is exciting
It's only slander if it's untrue.
What are you holding for now?
eon are on other line, i have two phones going and feel very american powersuited type lady. The lady is telling me to keep posting and is asking me to read it out to her
Apparently i am on speaker phone in the eon offices....
tell them you are writing a letter to MP
you work as a journo type and you just happen to know ...erm....shit name someone........a consumer correspndant
you are e-mailing watchdog - they say they are going to ring you when youg et off the phone - they are interested in running a piece
And it's libel anyway, not slander. twaT.
With direct debit they are NOT ALLOWED to change your payments without giving you notice. This is from the financial ombudsman.
's not slander.
Loving the 'missing money'.
tamarto - i think i am just holding whilst they slag me off....or they may be frantically googling?
HELLO EON
BRITISH GAS ARE CUNTWHACKERS
AND
COCK MUNCHERS
i am cying with laughter now!
Watchdog would be VERY interested. They ran a piece last week about how fuel prices have actually dropped to the suppliers but they have not passed this saving onto customers. By law they cannot change direct debits without prior consent.
Yes, and the Grundian Money section on Saturdays is frequently filled with letters and articles about BG.
Tell them that if they will insist on keeping you on hold, you will be charging for your time, surely someone there has a clue?
