hissingsid Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Seriously there is a great amount of discontent in the Isle of Man about a lot of things that are going on, and the elected elite just seem to be interested in parish pump issues and not getting down to tackling the real concerns which makes one wonder if they just are not up to solving them or worse not realising they exist.

Buster posted his bullshit solution to it all on News and Politics last night. Sadly it was bullshit needed some more work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Every gas customer should cancel their direct debits and pay their bill as late as possible, by cheque. The idea behind this standing charge nonsense was to stabilise a cash flow for Manx gas, so disrupt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, last time i only got two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottyLisa Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 If you wanted to be a pain in the ass you could formally request a copy of every single piece of data they have concerning you. Correspondance, account data, notes, emails, the lot. I think they are obliged to fulfill the request. If I'm talking rubbish I'm happy to be corrected.

2bees Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 There is a real live person who works in their accounts department (might be more than one but I only deal with one person so...). Why punish her because you're annoyed with Manx Gas? How much work do you suppose loads of cancelled direct debits would be? Won't somebody think of the book keepers?

PottyLisa Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I get your point Bees but it wouldn't be the accounts section supplying the info and if they're not busy with that they'd be busy doing something else. Something tells me they're not understaffed! Anyhow, it was just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the practical solution for people in small flats etc who are complaining about the standing charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
