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!

Fucking nobrotting bastards won't let me switch as they have registered TWO electricity meters on my property. I'v been paying double bubble for over a YEAR!!!

DP threatened to take them to court as they took money out of his account that he hadn't authorised which is theft. they refunded him pretty quickly after that. we are switching to utilities warehouse i think (BG tried to keep us by offering low bills so DP thinking now)

God, it is infuriating trying to deal with energy companies. It took us months to get our money back from Scottish Power.
The words 'small claims court' helped.

they all are feckers really
had to kidnap BG guy once to make him see how wrong they were!!
(well we locked him in and explained a very long tedious story where they were so in the wrong, it still resulted in a pre payment meter)

it is almost cartel-like the fuel companies
apparently there is not much difference between them (according to dispatches last night about 50p a week) and best deals are for new customers...so i guess you keep switching is the best advice

feck feck ..choice.... fecking ..choice ? fecking ..free market fecking feckington feck ... fecking bullshitting nonsense
