Totally Cracking Up!!

[sinking_fast]

I have been fighting with my Elec/Gas company now for 4 years, 4 years ago I brought the house, and totally renovated it, put in new wiring throughout the whole house, put in GCH with a top of the range baxi boiler, brought brand new A+ appliances etc etc, I had meters in for the first 2 years but I was putting in £55 a week between them (this was before the price hikes) oh and btw its it 3 bedroomed semi-detached house, not a mansion just incase anyone was wondering lol. Anyway after a 2 year battle I got my bill paid off, so I could get the meters taken out, this is probably the worse thing I've done!!

When I got the credit meters in they charged me £50 a month gas and £45 a month on elec, I told then this wasn't enough but until I'd had a bill they weren't prepared to listen, so sure enough 6 months later I got the bills, both saying you owe us elec £350 and gas £300, so were putting up your payments to elec £90 and gas £110, so struggled for 6 months to pay the the monthly Direct debit, only to receive bills saying I owed elec £350 and gas £250 and my payments were going up to elec £179 and gas £112, I went mental this is more than my mortgage a month, they agreed to charge £110 for my elec but my gas is saying the same, so I paid the Direct debits for 5 months and received my 6 month bills, are you ready for this???

Elec, on top of the £550 I've already paid every month, I owe £549 ????? the gas isn't to bad, I only owe £279 I've even got a FREE electric thing that tells my how much elec I'm using etc, if I went by this, I'd be paying about £47 a month, I know this is a bit long winded but can anyone please please give me any advice as to what to do now, as I think I've tried everthing, oh btw I've had both meters tested, I've done the written tests (I had to take a menter reading 2 a day and write down what I'd used etc for 10 days BORING!!)

I was even thinking of putting the house on the market cause I can't afford to stay here, but in the current climate thats a joke!!!
