I have noticed on my last few monthly bills there is a small credit amount that says “a little help with your heating -credit”. What is this for please?

It was a scheme in the Beyond app that as the name said gave a little credit each month against your gas use (or a set amount if you don't have gas).

It ran for 10 weeks, you had to pick a couple of hours each week and read an energy saving tip in the app

As you have received the credits then you must have signed up to it, and presumsbly engaged with it weekly. Do you not remember doing so?

For more about what it was see:

Hey ​@SammyBug108,

 

Welcome to the community! 

 

You could register for 2 hours of free heating through the OVO Beyond section of our app. You’ll receive a small credit on your bill each month to thank you for taking part in any free heating periods. For all the details, just check out our terms page under the “A Little Help With Your Heating Terms” section. Hopefully this helps!

wait what? I don’t use gas but I’m connected to gas so I didn’t even bother. I just get punished for 10 pound a month for not using gas.

Hey ​@lampuiho 

 

Is the meter still in place but the gas capped? Is that £10 standing charges for keeping the meter in place?

 

You can have the meter removed if you’ve already got the supply capped, I’m not sure if that’s something you’ve considered if so? 

 

The following topics may be helpful if that’s something you’d want to consider doing:

yes gas capped. Can’t remove meter because I’m renting.

Any chance the landlord could pay the standing charge then ??? I expect not but you could always ask.
