Hi @TessDay and thanks for the post. Blastoise has nailed this, it sounds like our live daily billing. More info on our guide here:

 

 

I would expect your balance to change daily, with usage and standing charges. Even if you don’t have a smart meter that sends us your readings every day (or half an hour), which lets us apply exact daily costs, we’ll work out what your charges would be, and so your balance will change daily either way. 

 

When your billing summary lands, you’ll see all charges and costs for that period here:

When I say debt I don’t mean you owed OVO money, I mean they may not have been billing you enough. 
When the meter was changed the engineer should have stuck a label on the new one with the meter reading of the old one, and the new one.

Ok. So bills around the date the meter was changed should have those meter readings on them. This should confirm that you are being charged for the correct amount you have used. You shouldn’t see any estimates on any bills since then.
