Hi,
on 29/3, I received a letter from e-on, telling me that my monthly payments, were going to increase, from £53 to £120.
I sent them a web-mail, from their website, offering to pay £70, since my high usage is due to that it's been a cold winter.
And I'm also unemployed, and on a budget, so I can't afford to pay as much as £120 a month.
Andrea from E-on, called me last week, and there were also some problems with my direct debits, since Red Castle, withdraw a direct debit on the 28th., instead of on the 30th, which was the date I had agreed with them.
So my bank-account got overdrawn, and RBS bounced the E-on direct debit.
So I asked Andrea to call back on Friday, last week, at 2 pm.
To see if I would get a bank-charge.
I had to switch to British Gas, since E-on/Andrea, didn't want to accept my compromise, of £70 a week.
So I told Andrea from E-on, that I'd switced to British Gas, when she called on Friday.
We agreed that she would call me back on Tuesday next week, because that day I have set aside, to budget-work.
But she called me today, more than one week early.
So I think this was harassment.
So I wanted to complain about E-on.
1. They didn't want to compromise, on the payment-plan, so that I could afford it on my budget.
2. They, (Andrea), called me back today, to discuss the payment-plan, even if we agreed on Friday last week, (2/4. I don't know why they call on a holiday, Good Friday), with Andrea from E-on, that she was going to call me back on Tuesday next week, 13/4, when I have set aside a day for budget-work, in my schedule, from before, and I was going to call CCCS, in the mean-time.
Even so, Andrea from E-on, called me today, and wanted to know when I was going to pay.
So I think I was harassed here, since she didn't pay any respect to the agreement we made, on Friday, that she was going to call back on 13/4.
So I wanted to please complain to you at the Energy Ombudsman about this.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
thank you very much for your e-mail.
What happened today, was that Red Castle, their direct debit, was withdrawn on the 29th, instead of the 30th.
So my bank-account got overdrawn, and RBS bounced your direct debit.
Now I have to pay a charge, to RBS, so I canceled your direct debit.
I suggest, for me to get the overview on my bank-account, that we just start with direct debits again at 30th of next month.
With £60 to £70, which is all I can afford really, since I'm unemployed and on a budget.
Hope this is alright!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
