Having some issues with British Gas ATM, they are refusing to investigate my electric bill, which I think is excessively high for someone that lives alone and only uses the apartment during the week.  The apartment is two bedrooms in a purpose built block in Queens Park, only 3 years old so not sure why I'm having these issues.

I'm out on average from 8am to 8pm and away on weekends, the apartment is just electric.  Only things I use are the following Refrigerator, Microwave, cooker, lights, shower, Kettle, Iron, phone charger at night, laptop charger occasionally and two storage heaters during the winter.

I don't have a TV and when I'm out I make a point of turning everything off apart from the Refrigerator

My bills are £180 per month and they are claiming that I'm using 710 Kilowatts of energy a month, I've taken a reading myself and it does show this but I think that there is something externally that's not right.

Looking at the bill it shows that I use most energy during the day and very little at night, which again isn't right because I'm out during the day or with the family in Notts

Any advice from the blonde community would be much appreciated.

Yeah pretty ridiculous only noticed today when I was checking my bank statement, they've been DD £180 a month since March, Cancelled the DD going to contact the governing body because it's just to much for them not to investigate.

Haha, I suggested that to British Gas, hoping that they'd come out and check...

British Gas won't check it so I need to get a private electrician in that will check out what's going on.  Like I said I think the issue is external so they should be liable in checking it to make sure.
