excuse my ignorance i havnt looked at good energy! my payments from BG are setup quarterly

we received our first FITs payment from BG and it only took about a week or so ,
I was very surprised it arrived so quick.
The one month sedgy is referring to is at the old rate of 43.3 with the remainder on the new higher rate of 45.4 per unit

dont you just love inflation when you have an index linked , tax free payment,

I installed PV for British Gas for 2 years until recently when I abandened ship. Bristish Gas Solar is a shambles, good installers, just from the office up a total shambles. Glad you guys are impressed with your FIT payments I envied everyone of the customers I installed at.

Have now waited 42 days for Eon payment :-(. Last time only waited 35 days. Will ring them on Monday 10/7 if money not received - feel pretty annoyed and not impressed by their excuse of installing new software. Don't think that excuse would work if I dlayed payment on my fuel bill.:angry_smile:

 

[steve40x]

Not had a payment from eon yet since november, first meter reading was lost and still waiting since my second meter reading 50 days ago. Twice they said they look into it and get back to me but never heard from them.

 

[Nutmeg2]

Wonder what we can do about this - it is disgraceful. Can anyone suggest a course of action against Eon to make them pay up (and any others not paying for months)
Has anyone on here had a payment from eon in last 3 months?

 

[sedgy34]

im pretty sure they have broken a rule there you will have to find out what there timescale for payments are.

 

[Vegelen]

British Gas have a 6 week backlog on processing FIT applications.

They are currently very busy, due to an increase in FIT applications.

Payments may take longer than usual.

 

[steve40x]

Eon has finally sent me what i will get paid 57 days (8wks) after my meter reading but still got up to 11 more days before its paid into my bank account.

 

[langstroth2]

Can anyone suggest a course of action against Eon to make them pay up (and any others not paying for months)​

Go onto their website, find the section on "how to make a complaint" and start the formal complaint process. If they don't respond in the timescales stated, next step is the energy ombudsman.

There's also the small claims court - the threat of which can sometimes make companies take notice.

I know this has been joked about before, but what if you really witheld payment on your elec bill until the cheque has been issued. I reckon they would sort it out straight away. I know 2 breaches of contract don't make a right but it gets their attention.

When they were setting up my payments, they asked if I would like a cheque, direct bank transfer or for it to be deducted off my elec bill. I went with cheque so I could monitor the payments.
