British Gas 'Customer Service' con?
Decided to change from British Gas and SWEB to Atlantic recently. All seems to have progressed smoothly until I received a letter from British Gas asking me to call an 0845 number to 'talk about closing my account' I have no intention of calling 0845 9555514 to 'talk about' anything - there is no alternative listed on 'say…

Going back to British Gas!!
A couple of months ago I used USwitch to find, and change to, another Gas & Electric supplier (I never got the £15 'carrot' for using their website). Since then the new supplier (Scottish Power) has put the prices up twice. Since the savings aren't that great (maybe £20/year), and Scottish Power don't seem to…

London Energy 'online' price increase
Seems EDF Energy (London, SWEB and Seeboard Energy) have increased the 'online tariff' effective since 9th March. But supposedly only for new customers, will not effect existing 'online' customers. The concerning coincidence for us, is that they waited till the 9th March to switch us over to them. So now I'm concerned…

British Gas £5 back for bills on-line
Just over a year ago I switched to paperless billing by getting my bills on-line for which British Gas said I would be credited with £5 per utility after a year. A year has passed and my £5 was not credited so I e-mailed them. They apologised and said it would be credited shortly. This is just a reminder to anyone who has…

Switching from Economy 9
Hi everyone. First post so I hope I'm not going over old ground with this... I'm on an Economy 9 electricity rate provided by London Energy. I think this rate is pretty rare and I'm not entirely sure of what the benefits are. There's no gas supply in my house so heating is by storage heaters and the water is heated up by…

Hi, just starting to investigate moving electric supplier.
