The nPower Saga: Prologue
It was only the other day when I was saying life is great and isn’t giving me blogging material and yet here we are with nPower dropping something right in my lap. To avoid this being one very long shouty rant written over many days I’m going to present it as a number of shorter shouty rants posted as things happen. So, without further ado, some back story:
Before The Zozo and I lived together I was living in a large, 2 bed flat with electric heating and hot water, electric hob, large TVs, powerful computers on 24×7 and a lifestyle that ate through electricity. I was with Scottish Power and they charged me £50/month for this. When I left my flat they owed me £200.
The Zozo lived in a little 1 bedroom flat with gas central heating and water, gas hob and very little in the way of things that would eat electricity. nPower would charge her substantially more than £50/month for her electric and by the time she left she owed them a lot of money. Despite a number of calls complaining to nPower that things can’t be right they were insistent that there were no problems. Eventually they changed the meter but that didn’t help.
Personally I think either on of the other flats was stealing electric from The Zozo or there was a short somewhere. nPower didn’t care, they weren’t going to help, they just wanted the money. Whatever the problem was nPower now have their money and we’ll never touch them again with a barge pole.
Of course, it’s never that easy…
