My energy direct debit has more than doubled before price rises. Anyone else?

I’m currently over £700 in debit with my energy supplier. I adjusted my direct debit around 3 months ago where they (my supplier) set the amount to cover my usage (clearly too low!) and added a payment plan to clear the arrears which was only £300 at the time.

After adding meter readings last month the arrears jumped to £500. Adding meter readings 2 weeks later and it is now £700. I don’t understand how it is so high as I use as little as possible.

My direct debit has just increased to over £300. This is before the energy price rises. I feel sick.

I’m disabled and rely on benefits to live. I don’t qualify for the energy hardship grant funding.

I hate this government right now; their support packages are a slap in the face. Is anyone else in the same position?
