EDF Large credit balance
Talk about having the worst days of your life..EDF for a long time have been showing a large credit balance of c£9k on my account. Every other month i would try and submit my meter readings. They would never get accepted on their portal. I would try and book in a smart meter installation but they failed to do that too. I…

Octopus or Eon?
Moved into a new property Friday and the old supplier is Eon. Wanted to stick with British gas but they wanted an estimate of £300 a month. When researching the best deal, it was octopus who estimated £188 a month but have explained if the usage goes up or down then they will just adjust the direct debit. I’ve had a call…

Fuse App problems?
If you check the long Fuse thread I started about 18months ago (which still grows), one of my reasons for signing up with them is the app that updates in real time (mostly) and allows me to check the KwH consumption when I make tweaks to my heat pump algorithm or whatever. Every so often it lags for a wee while if the DCC…

Desperately Need Help With Octopus Energy
Hi, I'm trying to help a friend of mine who is going through a horrendous time at the moment. She's recently escaped from an abusive relationship, which has caused a lot of issues, particularly financially. From what she's told me, one of her biggest problems is the amount that Octopus is charging on her pre-payment meter.…

Installing a electric charging port at home
I’ve recently got an electric car and now looking into getting a charging point installed at home. I remember a few years ago there were quite generous grants available (or even free installations in some cases), but not sure what the situation is now. Does anyone know if there are still any schemes available to reduce the…

Octopus energy confusion
Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice on whether I should take my electricity supplier (Octopus Energy) to small claims court, or if there is another route I should take. I’m struggling to understand everything they’ve done, so I’d really appreciate some outside opinions. Background I have three Ombudsman decisions in my…

British Gas Back billing
I was really hoping someone could give advise and/or reassurance as my issues with British Gas are causing more and more distress. For years they have not been generating our bill correctly, every time we have called them up (multiple times going back years) they have given us the standard response of "we will look into it…

Home Energy sticking to opening "industry read" (double charged units?)
A couple of months ago, I switched to Home Energy for electricity. Despite having a smart meter and the previous supplier using the correct reading for the closing read (ending '115'), Home Energy insist on using an "industry" opening read (ending '095') meaning there's a double charge of around 20 units (they are charging…

British Gas final bill £3,845 after Ombudsman upheld my complaint — what next?
I moved into a new build flat in January 2023. A smart meter was already installed — no previous tenant had used it. I called British Gas to set up my account. They set my direct debit at around £30/month. I'll be honest: I had never paid energy bills before (previously lived with family), so when my DD was £30 and later…

Without wanting to go into too much detail on the matter. I was recently mis-sold a contract by Northern Gas and Power on one of their ‘blend and extend’ contracts. What I was…

We have recently received a demand for payment from rebel through our estate agent dated 2025. Both our estate agent and octopus have our details but…

Suspect Holiday Park Owner is Inflating Utility Bills
Hello I am concerned that the owner of my holiday park may be inflating the unit prices charged for gas, electricity, and water. I have been unable to obtain copies of the original utility bills to verify whether the amounts charged to residents accurately reflect the costs incurred by him. I am also concerned about…

Should decent off-peak electricity rates be available to everyone, not just EV owners?
I’ve recently been looking into energy tariffs while considering a home battery and possibly solar, and I’ve hit something that doesn’t quite sit right. From what I’ve read, only around 55% of UK households have a driveway — which effectively means access to an EV charger, and in turn, access to some of the best off-peak…
