If you are charged incorrectly for your energy use, we may send an invoice to recover these costs. This is known as 'back billing.'
We aim to bring you the best customer service experience, to help you manage your accounts and queries in the most efficient way. This includes complying with our responsibilities when it comes to back billing.
When we don’t invoice you correctly for your energy use, we will only recover charges for energy used in the last 12 months, in accordance with industry regulations.
There are exceptions to this, as follows:
- If you behave in an obstructive or unreasonable way (for example if you are involved in energy theft, or you will not allow us access to take a meter reading without a valid reason).
- Any other circumstances specified by Ofgem.
