# Have you got last years bill for the same period?
That's normally a good judge of whether something is amiss.

EDF rather foolishly print last years amount on the bill so you've got a quick comparison

# No, we've only been here just under a year

the key thing being that we set up a direct debit from a joint account we never really look at, just has bills going out, I had thought the payments were quarterly but they're actually monthly.

and you're definitely not in credit with them?

when we had ours installed they charged us an arbitrary £50 a month - then after a year they gave me £450 back and dropped the DD to £10 a month

# Nope.
We are with the electricity, same provider, because they just charge their same estimation every month, but the gas is only about £40 in credit over the whole year of paying!

"Our primary concern is for our customers"

No it isn't. You're a business. Your primary concern is making money. Out of your customers.
