THE WAR ON ENERGY

This is ... funny.

No this is ... hilarious.

Nope. This is ... bizarre and extremely of timing.

Theresa May has been reported as stating she is fed up with rip-off pricing and stated she was going to try and put a cap on energy prices?

That is simply odd.

You see I only very recently had to contact my energy company Eon.

There were two reasons I contacted them and the first is that somehow, with me thinking I only owed them from anywhere under £100 to £200 but I seem to still owe £500 plus.

Despite me living alone who barely cooks once in a single week, if at all, I seem to use a lot of energy and I don't see how.

Secondly they refused to take an online payment and though I pay them £100 each month I have missed the odd month and did last month.

So probably throwing a hissy fit and there logic is to refuse to take money?!

Well allrighty then!

I bought three pairs of shoes, have had heart palpitations, chest pain, been in A&E, worn a heart rate monitor for two days and in the middle of an eight week process to start my own business.

This does not include the fact that there had been a family bereavement, a funeral that took like 9 weeks to reach and solicitors, probate and theft to deal with. This is still ongoing.

My, my let out a few clues there?

Now after speaking to a few friends they made me realise I've not had a bill from them in a couple of years. I also remembered that I did not get that winter payment of them they promised me. A deduction of £140 odd.

So then I'm not sure what's been happening.

I do know something, I was about to email them again pointing out the lack of bills sent to me as well as the missing deduction in what I owe and will now rip into them.

I know something else and that is that there is something that they do not know.

They do not know what I've been up to, that they have featured from time to time. Nor do they know what is about to happen and what I'll spend the following twelve months doing!

So ... it's gotten so bad that even a Tory Prime Minister is fed up with it?!

That's crazy.

That's also provided some very well timed ammunition for me.

I'm about to rip into them for the second time about how my bills simply not come down. I've used a lot less energy than I normally do in the past 6 months, my showers been out of action for awhile and my fridge freezer is on the blink.

They simply have some explaining​ to do when they have nothing to explain. Or to put it better, there have no explanations available to them. Not that won't make them look like complete liars or simply bloody incompetent and with faulty equipment.

I'm also going to mention something else not related to energy bills..

I'm ... getting back into some old habits and old routines I'd drifted away from or ceased over the past year or two.

Not wanting to tempt fate I will be explaining these when I'm well into my ... groove.

I'm also going to explain a couple of other things with one being much more detail about this business start up plan I've alluded to a few times.

I'm also going to post something that's going to make other things I've alluded to look or at least sound like they are confirmed. Well they are really, in effect.

I'm sure it is not long now before I get other details into this inevitable event confirmed?

We were told that we would be kept ... updated.

However ... as of this weekend it would be around a month since we were told that. In just a couple of weeks it's all over.

Now there are a couple I know that insist they we won't be informed of anything until the deadline given for two weeks time. But to this, everyone's a bloody expert, I stated that we were not told that we would be informed when it's over but that we would be kept updated.

Solicitors are not known to not carry out the actions they have promised clients in writing. It's just not done.

But in as little as two weeks time they would have failed in updating us as was stated by themselves.

In fact and as I will reveal shortly this lack of information that we have every right to can and is causing me problems. This is due to this process of starting a business.

Prior to starting out as a business owner I need to ... acquire certain things prior to ... starting, or begin trading, as they put it.

It also helps if I know when I can acquire these ... things as I can then set a date. So to speak.

There will be, or on fast already are, two forms calling my name I need to fill in and hand in.

I'll explain more and post these two ... umm, posts this following weekend. That's the 13th May.

Also I had one of my two negative siblings on the phone today. They were negative again and overestimating again. Estimating even lower than my other sibling.

I went through my theory and understanding in much detail.

Suddenly there was an "ooooh!" before they then said "Oh, you explained this before but I just didn't realise!" before I said "Ah, it's clicked now has it?" They said that it now had, that they now understood and suddenly what was about to happen will be interesting and they were looking forward to it.

I did say at one point "have you not got it yet? How many times have I got things like this wrong? Not very often."

That was kind of a relief. Though it makes no difference to either me not the outcome whether I'm believed or not. Well that is other than the fact that they are normally negative each time but now I don't have to do over the details of my theory each time we talk. Well, not with that sibling at any rate.

We find out in just a couple of weeks.

As for the energy cap? Well maybe it is one of those things in the forefront of everyone's minds and Theresa May knows this and so thinks that by promising it she will win the election for sure but with no intentions of actually doing anything?

I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it: Does Theresa May's energy cap fit? - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-39858948

CORRESPONDING WITH ONE OF THE GESTAPOS

It is funny how big companies are. At times its mildly amusing and at others a rip roaring laugh at their stupidity while trying to act like the all knowing overlords.

At other times they can be so effing annoying that you want to just throttle one of them. Unfortunately even though these organisations act like they do the ones worthy of the throttling are no the ones they send knocking on your door. In fact when I got into a rage with them previously they sent out two women to call at my house and speak with me, apologising in the process?!

I may have mentioned it at the time but I found this quite deplorable of this overly large company if I am completely honest and had I been the watchdog that was involved I would have hot them with everything I got. The large sum of the fine would read like the proverbial telephone number!

I mean I could have been a mad crazy person with serious mental illness with a leaning towards violent behaviour towards others? I am not but that is beside the point.

Oh but make no mistake I could quite happily throttle someone that is responsible for something heinous and knowing that the authorities will not act on it when I am about to do some throttling...err...up will not help.

More on this at a much later date.

Now this particular organisation is Eon Energy who decided that it is OK to be rude in their billing which, I might add, has been non-existent for a few years. After explaining about my latest victory battle and that the electric bills will soon cease to be a major problem for me they decided to do something they had not done in ages and send me a paper bill through the post.

Only when I removed it from its envelope is had a line of text whose size was bigger than the rest be a factor of 5 to 10. It was also rude...and demanding sort of way and I flicked it through the air to land on a chair. I then decided to not make the payment I was about to for a couple of weeks and see if they get the hint?!

A letter came through about a week ago and I guessed it would be more of the same and I did not get around to opening it, partly I did not want to as it was piss me off. Yesterday I had a text requesting I call them. I know how that goes too.

So I went online and after about fifteen minutes of waiting, as that is how long it takes to load a web page at certain points of the day and something I have used to tear Ofcom a new one as it is North London wide at least, I paid them £100.

Of course finally being in my account, no thanks to the greedy, lazy and one of the other Gestapo groups being the mobile telecoms companies...hmm well I call them that but of late 80% of the time they are not actually mobile telecoms companies. Well OK, that is not strictly true as they are not mobile broadband providers about 60% to 80% of the time in any 24 hour period! PERIOD!

Still manage to take your cash from your bank with no problems though don't they? Funny how that technical side never breaks down but the services they are paid to provide work only half the time if your lucky.

So I got very sarcastic and cocky with Eon Energy and told them that until the answer a little riddle I am going to keep them in the dark as to when they will get the rest of the money! LOL!

I mean it will be in credit inside of four weeks but I am not going to tell them that...because they refuse to listen, refuse to take things on board and refuse to be fucking polite with their own customers at a time when they totally need to be.

Ooh and I forgot that I totally asked them about the fact that the phoned me and asked me to change my errr tariff and that they were recently burnt by Ofgen about it and was supposed to refund money?! Yeeah...they never answered that query!

It is funny how all these organisations are aloud to get away with murder, figuratively speaking of course, and that they always contact when its money going in their direction buy turn into little mice when the correspondence creeps over to them paying people back?!

Thought those of you that have had dealings with the energy companies....err 'WARS' no doubt at times would like to see what I sent them?

EMAIL ..

Dear Sirs

I have not yet opened your latest letter and I am aware that you text me.

Firstly I forgot, it is part of my condition, and then I got my first BILL from YOU through my door for the first time in ages.

However you do not seem to have listened to a word I said and I am sorry but no amount of emails or ladies knocking on my door is going to change anything.

Your acting like the Gestapo...AGAIN!!

Go and read my effing emails and then take a look at the bill you sent me and let us see if you can work it out...if you can I will then tall you how and when your going to get paid. Until you do I will leave you in the dark over it!!

Yours

Martin Haswell BSc
