Had a weird letter from Scottish Power
Its saying that "It has come to our attention that money has stopped coming into your pre-payment electricity account. This may be due to a new payment allocation system adopted by the industry last year. Our concern is without this money a debit balance may accumulate on your account" It then tells me to contact the to…

Fake gas reading-is it worth making a fuss?
Got back today after a month away. Had a nasty surprise in the post, a gas bill for £ 505.00. Big shock. Anyways when I looked at it, it was caused because an actual reading ( not customer ) on 12/08/06 meant there was a huge under-estimation from last estimated usage. Trouble is, there was no actual reading because I've…

How do I know that I'm actually getting switched?

Scottish power prepayment meter
Hi, If a bill is in credit and you have a prepayment meter, with no debt to be paid off, can you claim back from them the money that is in credit, like you can if you have overpaid on a budget scheme? A friend is on a meter with Scottish Power. They sent a bill for almost £200 last week but, as we knew it must be an error,…

Hi My Mother in Law moved into a small Housing association flat about 18 months ago. She is on electric only as there is no gas supply to the village.

wrong meter reading
i recently got gas installed and was with bg for 1 month and then transferred to npower. The meter reader read the meter as 217 units for one month (units not kwh). I then got a bill for 85 from bg. I had a prepayment meter so i asked how i could possibly owe them cash for one month. Npower then changed the meter from a…

on uswitch BG Click quote is £552, Npower sol is £549 on energyhelpline BG Click quote is £552, Npower sol is £581 I entered same info on both. My first thought is that NPower put their charges on yesterday and maybe one site not got new rates. But I thought it was only the standard rates that went up ( not the sign online…

To Cap or Not - what's gonna happen next ?
Following the latest increases I'm now a mere 10% better of Powergen's Capped 2010 deal, Powergen online 19k Gas, 5k elec c£1,040, Capped 2010 c£1,140 Ae prices likely to plummet by the 20%s we've seen or continue to rise, with 2 price rises each year - a near 4year fix seems a good deal, so long as I brace myself for a…

how often can you switch ?
Hello, new "switcher" here... Unfortunately, I think I've made a big mistake. I decided to switch from Scottish Power when they announced their big price rise. At that point, Martin's Tip was "It's time to switch", so, i did do my comparisons, and found that EDF was by far the cheapest, allowing me to make a big saving.…
