My DD is £25 for Electric and £47 for Gas a month. Gas is about right, and electric gets me a refund. £233 seems a lot for electric!

Have you got a tumble dryer on a lot? Ours broke recently, and it's not been fixed, saving us a fortune!

Haven't had my bills yet, but have been paying £55 for electric per month & a whopping £125 a month for gas. I live in a 2 up 2 down end of terrace. The only Gas appliance I have is a 4 year old combi boiler which heats the water & central heating. The heating is on for 4 hours a day. I have complained to British Gas, but they say it is normal & I can have my meter checked by an "independent adviser" for £70.
Going on the "comparison websites" it says that I am a "high" user. Something isnt right somewhere & I WILL get to the bottom of it

5 bed detatched - gas £50 pm electric £60 pm.

Important thing to remember is that you maybe playing catch up for estimated readings prior to meter being read. Whatever you do dont let them dictate your payments - read your meters, submit figures, request new bill and work from there. So many people are paying 'up front' or are in credit but dont claw it back. They will try not to give the money back but are bound by the DD guarantee.
Imagine you had 10,000,000 customers and 2,000,000 of them are £100 in credit even at the crap interest rates it still represents a tidy income just for taking a feww quid too much each month.

That's what my mates say. When they tell me what they are paying it makes me sick.
I told British Gas what my friends were paying & I thought that there was a fault with mine, they said that they couldn't comment because every house is different

I might start having a nosey around, then tell BG to FO myself. I want to find them to be wrong so that I can sue thier as$es for over charging me for so long.

I had a couple of estimated readings last year, but the last 2 or 3 have been readings that I have done myself.
