Boy do I need some help!
About 18 months ago my old electricity meter was replaced with a tiny white box. Since then I've had no-one come round to read the meter. I don't know if I'm reading it right, but according to the meter, after calculating the costs using the unit prices on my electricity bill, my average monthly spending has increased from…

Is this legal?
Hi, I'm continuing a post that was posted on here on the 15th, by friend, Chicken_licken, unfortunately, due to PC problems, she's unable to get back on here. Basically, for those who have not read the original post, she has been in dispute for over 2 years with Swalec, who allege she owes a £260 gas bill prior to the…

Switching Dual-fuel from Powergen to nPower via Moneysupermarket
Hi all, Am fairly new to the utility switching lark. I currently obtain Electricity & Gas via Powergen onna dual fuel deal. The best saving for me is to switch both to the nPower dual fuel scheme. I think the best switch deal for me is to go via Moneysupermarket which gives £30 for such a switch. Couple questions: Am I…

I switched suppliers in August 2006 and I always pay by direct debit. Since this time I have managed to get myself £134 in credit.

I think Powergen as come up trumps.
A few days ago I contributed to a thread about Powegen, stating that they had put me on capped Gas at 14p a day at the very time when it was coming down. When I complained they put me on Winter saver. Reading this forum I thought I had been hard done by, so I sent them an e-mail writing what I thought of them, and…

nPower Increased Unit Cost
Following a uSwitch recommendation, I signed up for "nPower's Gas Sign On-Line Tariff". I've just been sent a letter from nPower saying that the tariff has been increased because my house is "supplied by an IGT network". The new rates I've been given are: Up to 4572 kWh pa = 4.698p / 4.933p (No VAT / VAT) Over 4572 kWh pa…

How much is the cost per unit of gas & electric?
I moved into my house last month & signed up with British Gas for gas & EDF for energy (which is who the previous occupant was with, I will change next month when prices are stable). I have got meter readings after about a month. I have checked the British Gas & EDF website but cannot find what the unit cost is?! Can…

EBIco - will they come down too?
I signed up to EBIco on the advice of this chat board last year and before my transfer had even gone through they put up prices by 30%. Now British Gas and Powergen have come down, are EBI likely to follow? My instinct is that they wont, because they took so long to put up their prices before. You can bet if I switch away…

FTB - never used gas/electricity
Just like to ask if anyone can offer some gleam of knowledge. I’m about to buy a house (whoooo) but am unsure how much I should budget for gas & electricity. I’ll be living on my own, working during the day, and it’s a three bedroom terrace. I have asked about what the old bills were but sadly the previous owner died and…

Confusing Meter Reading
Moved into a property at the end of November 2006 which has been mainly vacant until the beginning of Jan 07. I recieved my electricity bill today which is estimated. The bill is for around £200 which is rather odd since my Mum pays less than this for a bigger property which isn't vacant. The previous meter reading on the…

Scottish Power 2008 Capped Rate
Can't find this info anywhere but I signed up for the SP capped till 2008 rate last summer when prices were jumping up. What happens with the capped service if prices start to fall? Am I stuck at this capped rate or does capping mean price will not go UP so I would qualify for any cheaper rates. I know I can swap back from…
