need to speak to somebody regarding my complaint ref 09****04 as i am geting very annoyed with the service from you
Hi. I am resident at 60 Wycliffe Road West, Coventry (CV2 3DZ). I got a letter from British gas concerning energy bill. However, I packed into the house on July 3, 2023. I saw a bill spanning from July 2 to July 10, which was £142.54.
Unfortunately, I send the said money the account without inserting my reference number: 85******09 through my revolut account. I don’t know what to do?
I have tried to register online but to no avail. I wouldn’t know how you can help me set up my account for easy bill payment.
Of a major concern is that fact that I was thinking that energy billing is on monthly basis but what I saw didn’t look like it. I was suspecting it may have been for the last tenant to the apartment.
Please I need help.
