We moved in to a house early March and contacted British Gas to say we wanted to stay with them. Previous owners told us they were with Powergen !!! We kept getting numerous letters for the previous occupier from Powergen, but they hardly ever came to collect their mail. We emailed Powergen to ask them what the situation…

Independent Gas Transporters
Do any comparison sites take the extra costs of having an IGT into account ? Is there a summary of the different suppliers attitude to IGT's ? Scottish Power charge approx GBP41.60 pa extra. Some suppliers will not take me people with IGT's. Does it really cost suppliers more money to handle customers with IGTs eg ELF at…

SeeBoard Energy Direct Debit
I've just received notification from SeeBoard that my DD for electricity is to increase from £65 pm to £85 pm. I was a bit surprised at this given that electricity prices don't reflect this increase, and I always supply an accurate reading to them. What really confused me though was the necessity of any increase at all,…

Monthly DD payments up 160%
My latest bill came the other day and said my new balance was £268.61. I didn't take too much notice as I'm usually in credit during the winter from lower summer usage and 'owe' in the summer because of higher winter usage, but my DD amount doesn't usually alter because it all balances out. Considering we have double…
