Hi
Looking for advice on a ongoing problem we are having with N power that is turning into a nightmare.
little background, we moved into our property in the November of 2013 and agreed to take N power over with us as our supplier unfortunately at the time the meters that where installed where pre payment but we agreed with N power to have the meters changed to proper meters and be billed quarterly.
now our actual supply start date didnt commence untill 13/12/2013 due to the meters previously being with scotish power.
since then we went for a period of not receiving a bill for electricity or gas until august 2015 and everytime we logged onto our online account it showed us as being upto date and owing nothing . we made a number of phonecalls to complain only to be told not to worry we will get it sorted.
in august 2015 we phoned to complain once again and received a letter apologizing and a bill for £1,140.55 for electricity and £563.46 for gas.
on receipt of this bill we realized we where on the npower standard rob tariff for both gas and electricity and not the duel fuel that was agreed when signing up.
so again we phoned to complain to be told we where on pre payment meters so couldn't change tarif, we advised this wasnt the case and they said they woruld investigate as obviously we couldnt be on pre pay and be being billed .
in october we received a letter threatening court action if we didnt pay the full amount again we complained and explained that as it was there billing issue surely we could pay it off monthly as we couldn't afford to pay this in full we agreed to pay £169 per month.
in december I once again checked online to ensure we had now been put onto correct tariff to find the account now had a £1700 credit showing on the account
so once again we got on the phone to find out what the hel was going off and how could there be a credit ect ect we where then told that they where unable to bill for the electricity at present as when meter had been installed it hadnt been registered and they where chasing this up.
we phoned again in January as again it hadnt been sorted and again they couldnt find the electricity account my wife asked if we could leave them as a supplier and what penalties there would be we where told none and that we would have nothing to pay as account was in credit
so we decided to move to british gas we moved over to them on the 16th of march and phoned n power once again as received a letter apologizing for there failings and reived 2 cheques £170&£190 that had been awarded to us by them becuase of issue we had.
we phoned N power worried about the final bill not quite believing the final bill had been wiped out to be told on 2 seperate occasions that we where £1300 in credit and they had final meter readings and will now be sending out a cheque in next few days for this amount.
last week we phoned back to find out what was happening to be told there was no credit and infact we owed £1,041.08 my wife explained what she had been told and was told she was as good as lieing and the account had never been in credit.
now I have once again logged onto online account and that is showing a a debit ballance of £654.63 in debit
i have gone back through the account history and I cant make head nor tale of it as its full of bill reversals ect as follows.
