    I don't always clear my bill on time, why should I, when ESB were giving me the dearest energy rates in town, second only to the cost of generating the power myself with a diesel generator!!! If the only benefit to me by staying with ESB is a long credit facility, I am well going to make good use of it!



    2 things come to mind here in fairness. You are billed up to 8 weeks after you used the power and while you are supposed to pay within 14 days (taking it to up to 10 weeks), you would not be in arrears as long as you clear the bill before the next one issues. So, saying you did not clear the bills in time should be that you did not pay within 14 days. BUT you didn't pay within 2 months. I wouldn't give you credit either if you deliberately stretch the payments that far. You not only made use of a long credit facility (as you put it) but abused it. The credit facility is 14 days.

    But if i agree to pay by direct debit, I would be clearing all future bills on time along with any outstanding balance be it 2euro be it 40euro! - so shouldn't it be in your interest to get me on to direct debit? especially since I am so crap at ringing them up and paying over the phone....

    Clean the Slate if you will, the same clean slate their expecting me to give them after overcharging me for the past 3 years!!

    I wasn't looking for credit - I wanted to change my tariff, the same way you can ring ur mobile phone company and change on to a different price plan for the following month, regardless if your bill is over due or not, my last bill by the way is not actually is overdue yet, but I just haven't cleared it all yet!

    But here i believe its really a case of cutting your own nose off to spite your face, I've been with ESB since I bought the house!

    I spend on average 1000euros a year on electricity! (thats nearly 6000euros to date!). The fact remains ESB refuses to move me to a new tarriff despite an oustanding balance of 36euro!

    Its no big loss to me who supplies the juice, i'll just go to one of the others...
