My friend moved into a flat a few weeks ago. Whe he asked the landlady about utilities she gave him the electricity company, but told him that the flat was supplied by gas but had never been billed for the past couple of years.

I switched to Scottishpower using Moneysupermarket.com on 28th April. After 2 months I emailed Moneysupermarket and they said they were awaiting confirmation from my supplier that I have switched in order to give me back my £30. So I got in touch with Scottishpower who immediately sent me an email verifying that I had…

Please take the time to read the following, I have been with Scottish Power for 6 years and they have been a complete nightmare :cry: since the recent change in token meters.

Warning: Npower won't accept building society current account
- but it'll cost you to find out!:mad: Npower have apparently made a "business" decision not to deal with building societies so if your current account is with a building society rather than a bank you can't pay by direct debit, and hence will be charged more. They don't publicise this. I attempted to switch & got a letter…

Final bill based on an estimate?
Hi, I moved out of a house in March and have only just been billed for elec+gas by my previous provider powergen, I changed provider when I moved. The bill is based on an estimate and I am wondering if this is legitimate, surely a final bill should involve the meter readings taken at the time I left the property which they…

Atlantic quarterly direct debits
I've just switched to Atlantic and opted to pay on receipt of my quarterly bills as I just want to pay for what I use and not have to have hassles with them owing me money or me owing them. A leaflet they put in with my bill says that I can save 6% if I pay by monthly direct debit (which I don't want to do) but could save…

Moving into new flat, which Gas and Elec? HELP!
Hey guys, I need some advice! I'm moving into my new rented flat soon, sharing with another friend.

Should I go for separate…

Where to get quotes?
We are soon moving into a house from a flat and have been trying to get quotes from USwitch etc but you have to put your current suppliers and costs in. My current costs are irrelevent as my flat was half the size and it was only me living in it. It just wont let me get a fresh quote. I then thought okay I guess its called…

Quidco, British Gas, Switch Sites - Help Please
Hi All, Probably a stupid question to which I can likely guess the answer but would appreciate a wiser head confirming for me. I plan to switch to British Gas for my electricity (already have them for Gas) and so go onto a dual fuel plan. I presume that i can EITHER go direct via BG (through Quidco) and get that cashback…

Electricity meter changed, now we are in credit.
Hi all, For the first time in 4 years we are actually in credit with our electricity. It seems odd that this has happened after we had a new meter fitted 8 weeks ago. Our average quarter bill was £240.00. 2 adults, 2 kids... both of us work and kids at school. We currently pay £78 per month direct debit. A friend of mine…

Application of the Spring price reductions
When I received my Atlantic electricity bill for the March to June 2007 period I noticed that I was still being charged the pre-reduction unit prices. The prices for electricity were reduced on 1 April 2007. I queried this at the time and was informed that this would "all be sorted out" on the next bill. This bill has just…

Wasting Money With Off-peak Electricity
Many houses are fitted with 'off peak' (Economy 7 / White Meter) electricity time-clocks, which switch between high-rate and low-rate recording of the meter(s), at the appointed hours - which are nominally about midnight and 7am. Whilst newer time-clocks contain batteries, for back-up power supply, older time-clocks are…

Southern Electric or Ebico? (leaving BG!)
Hi, I've always been with British Gas (7+ years), and didn't really want to switch, but their unbelievablely bad customer service has left me with literally no other option... and trust me, I've tried :( So, I've spent quite a while looking into it, and am down to choosing between Southern Electric or Ebico. I realised…
