utilities bills

Stuffed

How do others manage? just called to find out how much heating oil would cost and 1000 litres that lasts 7 months is £670+5% vat doubled in three yearsSurprised normally use birthday money towards it

Electricity bill was £357 for 3 months, think that is mainly due to increased washing due to ill health

Water bill is £420 a year but I phoned up and explained my situation and they cancelled direct debit and put note on account.

Told not to worry-but they will surely want paying at some point,can't believe how expensive it is but on property ratable value so they say.

 There are some social schemes for water in my area, maybe they will offer that?

  • Hi Stuffed,

    Many of the utility compaines run grants for their customers.

    For instance my water comapny runs a seperate charity for not only water bill help but for beds (basic and crap but better than nothing) and white goods.

    Electric/gas comps offer social tarrifs but you need to call and ask for them. I thnik they'll assess your income etc and if you qualify tell you what they are. Compare this to what you're currently paying/comparision sites.

    I'd persoanlly get back on the phone regarding the water comp, freezing your DD Surprised 

     

    Hope that helps,
