WATCH your direct debit changes!!!
Just wanted to advise everyone to watch their "automatically updated" direct debits. I'm with Scottish Hydro for gas and electric and pay on DD. I always give meter readings so my bills are exactly what i've used. I've been expecting an increase but was shocked when my latest bill showed the gas up 80% !!:eek: I rang them…

EDF Cancelled Charges-Anyone else been hit with this?
This is not right... I've just had a very blunt letter from EDF accompanying a nice big bill with £635 of "cancelled charges" on it (in between my normal billing quarter so its an extra one). I did not have a clue what a cancelled charge was so i phoned them. Always paid ontime and been with them for years. It transpires…

It is a threatening letter demanding payment from when I was not even in the property, they are threatening to take action against "the occupier"!! Now I know the obvious step would be to call them, however Im damned if Im giving them…

Does this sound a bit excessive??
I moved into my new house on 22 Feb 2008. I'm changing back to EDF (who I had in my old house) from British Gas which was the supplier in my new house. On 31 March, I got a letter from BG to call them with my finalmeter reading and they would give me a final bill there & then. This they did and they said it was £99. I…

EDF wont let us switch
Since moving to this place we have been trying again and again to switch from EDF to another electric supplier. In our old home we had leccy from Atlantic and it was so much cheaper. However, on the occasions we have tried to switch here, EDF refuse to allow the new supplier to take over, they give us a garbled explanation…

moneycomparison sites
Do money comparison sites take into account the extra discounts you get e.g. Npower offer £80 payback if you stay with them for a year and use dual fuel and direct debit?

Elec Bill Problem
Hi, hope you're all good :beer: Issue with electricity. We were with Npower, paying bills, no probs. Then received a letter saying "sorry you're leaving us". Which we weren't. Then received a letter saying that a mistake had been made and it was getting sorted out, we should leave it with them. Fair enough. Time passed, no…

EDF have been guestimating my readings from nothing!
I have never once had a meter read, a meter reader has never attempted to gain access to the meter even though it’s easily accessible. I presumed that they were just reading it themselves then billing me accordingly. The new meter was installed in September 06 and today I had an estimate form sent out for me to fill in.…

No bills for 2 years
I am embarrased to admit that I have only just realised that we have not been paying anyone for our electricity for nearly 2 years. The problem seems to have started when we switched suppliers. We stopped paying British Gas, but never started to pay anyone else, and can't even remember who we switched to. I know it seems…

How do I come off Economy 7?
We inherited E7 when we moved to our current house 8 years ago. But now, it's increasingly inconvenient to make the most of it - children getting older, more muddy sports kit etc. HOW DO I SWITCH BACK TO A "NORMAL" TARIF? And can I still do it via the links here to get cashback? Or at least online to get the decent tarifs?…
