    Have sent:

    Other Info:
    Circa October 2013 I switched Energy Supplier to EDF from E.ON. I was surprised that shortly after switching, 2 direct debits were made from my account by E.ON without any explanation or bill totalling circa £1,200. My Bank was able to reverse the transaction because I wanted an explanation before paying the monies. I was very suspicious because I had been paying regular monthly direct debit payments to E.ON every month.

    After calling Customer Services, E.ON explained that they had looked at my account and said there had been a short fall in the energy I had used in 2013 compared to what I had paid and the additional money being charged was the balance. After explaining my surprise, E.ON put my additional energy consumption down to a colder than usual winter and we had used considerably more energy. I did not believe this fact and asked E.ON to provide me with 2 things:-

    1) My energy usage since being an E.ON customer to see the spike in consumption
    2) A record of all payments to E.ON since Ive been a customer so I can see what I have been charged and compare this to previous payments because I believe E.ON have been trying to over-charge me for energy consumption.

    I want this information so that I can either go to the Energy Ombudsman or pay whatever debt I owe now that I have the facts.

    To date, I have never received any of this information.

    I seem to be going around and around in circles with various people from E.ON who keep referring to letters that have sent me which I have not received threatening legal action.

    I had a call with one of their legal team circa 6 weeks ago and re-explained the situation and what my expectations are. I told them I would pay whatever monies are owed to them but they needed to explain the massive charges because I believe I have been massively over charged. I asked them again to send me the information which they said they would do after they got very angry on the phone.

    Nothing has been received apart from the N1CPC Claim form I have just received.

    Having never been in this situation, I am unsure of what to do and a bit nervous. I do not want a CCJ but I also feel that if I pay the debt, I am allowing E.ON to a) potentially overcharge me which is wrong and b) bully me into the payment with a threat of a CCJ.

      I have a friend who also having similar problems after a change of supplier. Their's is not resolved yet but one of the problems is that the meter number that was used to generate the bill was incorrect. In effect he was paying for the consumption of another customer.

      I note that Eon are billing you for the period to Dec 31st, past the date when you transferred the account.

      Is it possible for EDF to give you the meter readings from the start of your transfer? This could be useful ammunition against Eon if they have inflated the readings or got them wrong. Can you get the bills from EDF? May have to download. This will give an indication of your actual energy consumption patterns.

          Hi
          Thanks for your feedback. I will speak to EDF today and see if I can get the info from them.

          Do you know how I should respond to the N1CPC Claim Form? I think I only have 7 more days to respond. It is asking me to respond in a manor of ways. My feeling is to select the option that says I accept i need to pay something, just not the amount claimed.

          Do you have a view on this?
