No Woking they impose DD increases all the time i've been with them to make sure i never owe them money. It's a game I get a rebate when they allow.

Maybe Keefy is right and they're ripping us off

Hmm, looks like Octopus (and maybe others) have changed their logic. They want me to have a small credit balance end of March, when I'd normally be about £300 in arrears which I make up over the summer

Yay, it finished, reboot then recycling day

EON raised our DD by £40 because they projected we'd use an extra £78 of energy over the next 12 months. I know I'm a retired Maths teacher but I know I'm right that £78 ÷ 12 = £6.50 what is the other £33.50 for?

If you're in credit all year I assume you pay a variable amount, otherwise your balance would continue to grow during spring/summer and autumn.

It would appear HPs estimate for updates is even more random than Micro$oft. It shot up to about 95% and has been busy doing stuff (not stuck) for the last 1/2 hour or so.

Woking EON makes sure I'm in credit all year round and is very selective if I ask for a rebate which they offer now and again.

Yeah, got our DD set to £110 in Sep '24 and that worked well until this April when they upped it for the first time, now another massive rise (50%)

haven't

WJ, I get a monthly statement from Octopus and down the bottom is a facility to set your own DD. I've only used it once as they generally have played games

Keefy, by default, if you pay by DD for energy you are likely to be in arrears for half the winter and spring and in credit for summer and autumn.

That’s a good read Bush - I do like your stuff - this line stood out as realistic and honest “ The grim reality is that we could get most things right this season and still be in a relegation scrap.”

I expect the oil price to go up in the build up to US mid-terms in November. Iran will want to maximise pressure on Trump/GOP

Woking Looks like it !

Never been arrears or debt thanks to my parents . Bought up in the era of if you cannot afford it you don't have it.

I'm with Octopus, they recently increased my DD from £140 - £210 and I'm now £250 in credit.

Keefy, do they charge you interest when you're in arrears?

Change to Octopus Keefy. They don't hoard customers' money, give very good data, etc

Although being almost £200 in credit with EON they want to increase my DD by £31 a month from September. Just how much do they earn in interest from customers in credit? Criminal!

Welcome to Club OF, WTID. Being cantankerous has its uses, as my nosy GP just found out, after phoning me out of the blue.

If anyone wants a 3,000 word Wimbledon season preview, here it is: [Link] It was originally written for a broader audience (beyond Wimbledon fans) so some background stuff that you can probably skim over.

Thanks for the help Triggerfish, It took me a while but I finally found & downloaded it, one of the downsides of booking it via my phone & trying to read the email without my glasses on 🤣 I really do need to finally admit to myself that I’m an old fart & my vision isn’t what it used to be.

Actually WTID my post may not be correct. I can see the Huddersfield ticket already in my account. I don’t have a donstix account but you may well be able to access your ticket via that.

John Scales was sitting behind me during one match last season. He had his daughter with him and she plays for our ladies team IIRC
