We’ve had no end of ball-ache with SP, basically started with the renovation of the wife’s old upper-cottage flat which still had white meter heating & the relevant associated meters installed – we ripped everything out & started from scratch including having SP themselves replace the old meters with the correct new one but for some bizarre reason they couldn’t update the system to generate a correct bill & for over a year we were being charged for all our electricity on the “peak rate” associated with the old white meter heating meter…
In the middle of all this we tried changing supplier but couldn’t as SP couldn’t generate a final bill because they couldn’t update the “actual” billing information with the correct meter readings 😡
Eventually it all culminated in several complaints to the ombudsman resulting in a full refund of all our electricity charges for over a year (because they were still unable to calculate the correct bill) and no further electricity charges until they can correct the system error (we’re currently still receiving free electricity because they still can’t fix the problem)
Don’t hang around – get onto he ombudsman & say it’s impacting severely on your business – SP apparently have serious problems with their system which have been ongoing for some time – long may it continue as it’s saving us a fortune. 8)

*edit – when you phone the ombudsman, there’s a few button-press options available – one of which you press one button for SP & another for every other supplier combined…
