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!

Tell her we are all waiting with bated breath and our fingers poised over the USwitch website, depending on her response to you!

Tamarto · 23/10/2008 11:27

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!

needmorecoffee · 23/10/2008 11:07

w eleft them for the same reason. And you speak to 47 different poeple, none of whom ever reads what the previous person wrote. Argh!

AuraofDora · 23/10/2008 11:05

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

nickytwoooohtimes · 23/10/2008 11:05
