Anyway popped in this morning to put some credit on my Electric/Gas cards (like i've done for over 10 years) only to be turned down by the Assistant.

Do any comparison sites offer Southern Electric online tariff?
I have found that Southern Electric's 'Standard Energy Online No Standing Charge' for gas will be the cheapest for my needs. At the same time I'd like to earn a few quid switching over to this tariff. So far I have been unable to find any comparison sites offering this particular tariff. Can anyone suggest any comparison…

NPower problems
I am having problems with npower (who doesn't!) I moved to a new supplier in July and provided them with the meter reading, as well as providing it to npower to close out that account.

Credit rating hurt by British gas
After I had moved out of a rented property I got a british gas bill for an amount of gas after I had moved out, and before the next tenant had moved in. I wasn't going to pay it and I told them when I moved out and disputed it for a long time, during which BG went through 2 credit collection agencies. The first decided…

British Gas - negligent?
Hi, British Gas wrote to me a few months ago, saying my gas meter was very old & needed replacing. Upon inspection, I saw they were right - it has rusty pipes, the off switch is very awkward to get to & difficult to turn, and the bracket holding it onto the wall is also rusty (I have mentioned all of this to them). They…

Using someone elses tokens?
A friend is moving from token meter to quarterly billing. She has a couple of electric tokens left, and has asked if I'd like to buy them off her to use in my meter. Does anyone know if this would affect my account in any way? Thanks.
