Oliver Peiffer / Enstroga / EWD-Collection(Solutions)
Hello all, Anyone know whats going on with this lot? I had contact from EWD who tried to take me to court over a very old account (this was back in 2021 when they made contact). I found his mobile number on the internet and called him directly. We discussed it and came to an agreement, as there was likely *something* to be…

Accruing Credit on Utilities
I've managed to get through the winter with a tidy credit. Should I leave my Direct Debit unchanged so that I can build up credit for the next winter? I am worried about accumilating 500/600£ credit and the utility company going bust. Have I got any protection from this? Or should I simply reduce my s/o and save the…

Needing some clarification
Hi all, We are low energy users, are currently with octopus and have seen the EDF fixed tariff details via an email through uSwitch so I did a comparison on their site (including my last 12 month usage) and found that EDF would be cheaper by only £19 for the year but what shocked me is that their projected monthly payments…

Scottish Power and SEG
About a month and a half ago, I applied to Scottish Power for SEG for my solar panels. And since then, I have heard nothing. Any follow up emails have disappeared into the void. I have contacted Scottish Power via their Chatbot only to be told to contact them directly using the same email address. Does anyone have any tips…

Ex Shell customers
Octopus had any decency they’d waive the Shell tariff exit fees as a kind gesture as we’re in the middle of a cost of living crisis. Who would stay with Octopus after September if they won’t waive the exit fee? They could lose a lot of ex-Shell customers who are paying more than existing Octopus customers. Octopus dropped…

British Gas didn't apply the tariff agreed
Back in January we switched to British Gas to take advantage of their EV rate (with cheaper overnight electricity midnight to 5am). We finally got a bill from them and it turns out they have been charging us at their standard rate. With the EV rate both the off peak and peak rate should have been less than the std rate…

UK NRG Ltd- HELP, WHAT DO I DO?
Hi, I have seen some threads about NRG Corp and don't know if it is the same company. It appears I have fallen into the scam of UK NRG Ltd, who said they were authorized by Scottish Gas. They have renewed our church contract and estimated our annual gas use as 25000 kWh, this is 50 years worth of gas. I don't understand…

Outfox the market
On the mse comparison site they don’t give a service rating for Outfox the market. Based on actual readings they’re £30 a month cheaper than our SVR with Sainsbury’s for a 12 mth fix with no exit charges. Just wondering if they’re ok? Plus do they hassle you to get a smart meter? I can’t find it being a condition anywhere.…

ECO4 complaint and rights
Hi all I've just had internal wall insulation done on my house through ECO4 Flex. The installer, a local contractor, turned up at my house with only a vague idea of a plan. He showed e the 'plan' he'd been sent by the ECO4 company, and it looked like a child's drawing. The process so far has been nightmarish, and I have…

The Energy Ombudsman's Compensation System
Hello Everyone, I thought it would be beneficial to shed some light on the Energy Ombudsman's approach to awarding compensation, especially for those who may be seeking resolution for their disputes through them. Firstly, the Energy Ombudsman often states that they compare your case to other cases to determine the amount…

Gas Smart Meter
In 2021 Shell installed a smart meter for electricity but not gas. This was due to the gas meter being in the garage so the signal would, apparently, not be strong enough. The engineer intimated that future gas smart meters may have stronger signals. Recently moved to Octopus so sent a message asking if they could install…
