Reduction £67 a month Gas and Electric bill

[OnTheBoardwalk]

I currently pay £154 a month for 3 bedroom semi gas and electric

the charges shot up last year but that was expected

eonnext have said from Oct my new payment reduces to £87. Of course I’m going to contact them and say no but I might have been tempted and said yes

my last readings are 3 months or less

Any ideas?

Yes it's due to the government funding which reduces everyone's direct debit by £65 per month for 6 months

But they don’t seem to have calculated in the price rise? I wouldn’t just sit on it or you may find yourself accruing a horrible debit balance.

This is the reduction that you don't have to pay back any more, OP. Not you personally.

Why would you contact them and say no? Just make a payment to keep yourself out of debt. I'm £340 in credit. My payments are going from £190 to £150. I'm just keeping an eye and being thoughtful to what we use.

I’m £300 in credit, they’re still putting ours up to 297, including the discount.

Mine's gone up to £309 for gas and electricity, from £267.00. Apparently the govt payment has been factored in.

Maybe I should change my supplier, I got an email yesterday from my gas company saying they're going to increase my direct debit by almost £40!
I'm going to phone them on Monday to tell them not to as I'm over £400 in credit. They say that my bill will increase this winter by £300 so why if I'm in credit do they need to increase my direct debit?

i'm only £88 in credit which is not a lot during the summer

I used to pay £80 till they doubled it which seemed reasonable

Just call them and say you still want your direct debit to remain the same. Or choose the one off payment option.

Yeah that’s what I’m going to do but i could be tempted not to

i have just checked
i was 112
then they wanted nearly 400
today they are saying £63!

I don’t understand why they are suggesting reducing so much for people

I used to be consistent £80 a month. Was expecting an increase. I’ve no idea what I need to pay now

And?
