Request Details
I'm moving house and in the process of that closing my One Utility Bills account. Because of 'dynamic seasonal pricing' and because I'm closing my account at the end of winter they are charging me £466 for this last month. They had not told me they were going to do this so now I'm a bit panicked in how I'm gonna pay for that in addition to all the moving costs, and I've already been struggling with month-to-month costs. They said they might refund me at the closing of my account after I submit my meter readings, but it's going to take 8 weeks after my account closes (29th April). If I get refunded I will obvs pay this back!!
