Meter Reading Taken 2nd November 2023

I have an ongoing dispute going on with EON Next and when I submitted my meter reading today which was something like 700 hundred units lower than their estimated reading, the online submission form came back that that is a little low. I do not know what they are insinuating when I have a witness who took the reading for me.

EON Next are scammers and the Ombudsman has not investigated them properly.


I won’t go into all the evidence here which I have collated but tell me if my calculations are wrong:

The bill does not reflect all the payments by myself and the government and all the meter readings which I have broken down. The readings do not lie…


I am disputing my bill, I believe I am being overcharged. You have not reflected all the deductions you have made and all the payments that have been made when sending me this invoice.

Do you not think this is alarming and questionable that I have been charged Electricity £1,031.78 DR since my last two meter readings, when I was in credit on the 17th of July 2023 by £290.06 and my balance according to you is now -£918.38DR ??? Is there something wrong with this bill??? The latest credits do not reflect all the payments that have been made by the government or by myself:

I have broken down payments and deductions to how much my unit prices and standing day charge come to for the period 5th October 2022 to 12th August 2023.

I have not even included the credits for the 7th July 2023 Energy Price Guarantee 283.0 kWh @ 16.57p/kWh £46.90.

13th April 2023 = Energy Price Guarantee 364.5 kWh @ 31.84p/kWh £116.07

13th January 2023 Energy Price Guarantee 378.7 kWh @ 17.00p/kWh £64.38

Further Ducduction For Energy Price Guarantee – TOTAL £227.35

So, my actual bill should be £586.44 MINUS ENERGY PRICE GUARANTEE DEDUCTIONS £227.35 = £359.09 Minus Payment of £72.00 16/08/23 Should Be £287.09

Energy Price Guarantee in the UK is a government scheme to help households with their energy bills by providing a discount on the unit rates of gas and electricity.

According to the official website, this scheme does not involve any extra charge for the customers, but the government funds it through general taxation. The scheme ended in April 2023, and I realize that after that the energy prices will be determined by Ofgem’s price cap.


According to the ombudsman they are siding with EON Next and my actual bill is £872.90
