400 Pounds Electricity

[jennyjoan]

When will we eventually get it. I pay £70 a month dd. Will that mean I won't be paying anything for about 5 months

[ToraToraTora]

It will be added to your account this month. Your monthly payment won't change unless your supplier recalculates it or you stop it or alter it yourself.

[jennyjoan]

Ttt. What will be added. The full amount of 400

[tiggerblue10]

Were we all supposed to get something in the post or email from our suppliers informing us of the £66 payment towards bills? My manager and other colleague said they were informed by I haven't received anything.

[jennyjoan]

I am so confused. If 400 goes to my energy provider then it makes sense that I don't pay for few months

[Ryzen]

Check with your supplier..many of the suppliers will pay direct into your bank and leave your dd as it is.

[sadielady]

The money doesn't get added in one go, it's paid into the electricity account over several months

[Blackstoun]

The amount will be paid in around £60 lumps over the next 4 months. In my case (SSE) they will deduct this from any standing order or DD that I pay my bill with. I guess that is the same for most consumers. Not everybody will get this , though the exceptions are even more difficult to understand. Your supplier will have a website, so I suggest you take a look at that using your account number.

It's a credit of £67 for 2 months and £66 for 4 months from what I've read. Don't forget that your cost will be going up from today...they'll get you at some point.

[pastafreak]

Everyone is getting it Blackstoun.

[cashier]

You'll pay the difference, so £4 a month for six months. You might get more though with having oil heating. Have a word with your suppliers.

Yes, you are so right oh great freaky one
I should have said how you get it depends how you pay, e.g. pre paid meters etc don’t get it the same way
Btw I paid over £600 for 500 litres of heating oil the other day. Scary, and the £400 does not help with that!

[gingejbee]

Octopus Energy has already emailed me with the details..six more-or-less equal amounts to be credited over the next six months, reducing your DD by that amount ie £66 to £67.

[Gettingonabit]

SSE have informed me that if you pay by monthly Direct Debit then after it has cleared you will have £66 refunded. If you pay by quarterly bill then the payments will be credited to your bill.

[tiggerblue10]

I haven't heard anything from Bulb or Octopus who take over Bulb.

[tiggerblue10]

**took over

Thanks for letting me know. The last letter I have from sse didnt say that exactly , but the post being as haphazard as it it these days , maybe I am one letter overdue

[lankeela]

I have a pay as you go meter and it will be credited each month.

[weecalf]

So the goverment is giving these people our money for us and it’s our money anyway through taxes is that so ?

The help for folk in Ulster won't begin until November but it'll be backdated to to-day.

Pasta has it spot on, nobody is getting a £400 lump sum paid in to their account. The money will be paid directly to the energy supplier over six months
