Nah, you only need teeth for the standard size swizzells, the mega lollies are softer and melt in the mouth (cue sexist abuse................)

John, we had similar thing, we were ?160 in credit with them because our direct debit amount was a bit too much. Simply rang them up, within a week, had ?100 returned to our bank account. We could have had it all but I wanted to stay in credit to see how winter bill works out.

Well here is an update.. and your gonna love this !

After a couple of fone calls they agreed that yes, I was in credit to the tune of ?690+ quid and that ( in their words ) this matter will be addressed.

Then I get another fone call..
Mr Smith, you have a prepayment meter.

yup

Well you cannot go into credit with one of those..

Well I obviously can and have done !

Well we do not know how but you cannot have a refund because you cannot be in credit.

But your statement says I am in credit

Yes, we see you have over paid by ?693.20 ( or whatever )

So therefore you owe that money to me..

No Mr Smith, we do not owe it to you as it is not possible to go into a credit situation with a prepayment meter..

ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

So if its pre-payment how do you manage to get so far in credit? did gyppo aquire a load of tokens? Not a good way to get your juice ie most expensive.
Amazingly I actually have a qualification in energy advice! also sit near my organisations energy officer so if want to PM details might be able to get some advice, same offer to anyone else. Plenty of stuff on net on switching suppliers though.

Errr.. if I had got hold of hookey tokens I would not be in credit but in the red !

No, when we changed from quarterly to prepaid they set the meter wrong..
We only got about 75% of the electrickery we was paying for.

They eventually ( after a good few years ) reset the meter to deliver the correct amount of juice for each token.
Now the company has changed hands about 5 times and all the records seem to have gone..

Any reason not to go back to direct debit? Its the cheapest way to pay!
