We are now in a position where we have received a…

Best way to switch to Scottish Power
I've pretty much decided to switch to Scottish Power (from Southern Electric due to their price cap until 2011) but I'm now looking at the best way to switch to get the maximum savings. If I go through moneysupermarket I get £30 but would I also received £20 through Quidco as well as the original £30 for switching? If I go…

Standing Charge or not?
I've just done a price comparison and I'd be better off switching to Scottish Power from Southern Electric on Duel Fuel. The dilemma I'm facing is do I do the option with a Standing Charge or without as they both come up as exactly the same price. I've currently got a Standing Charge with Southern Electric so is it just…

Would I be mad to switch?
I'm currently on a dual fuel rate from Southern Electric fixed until October this year. I am thinking of switching to a longer term fix. The best seems to be Scottish Power, but it is considerably more expensive than my current rate (34%) according to Energyline. The actual figures are: Gas Electricity Southern Electric…

Capped Dilemma
Going for this capped deal isnt as easy as I thought I changed 3 months ago to EDF. Looking at the comparison sites it will cost me £260 more a year to switch to another supplier and a capped deal will cost me even more Even if the prices do go up by 35% it looks as though I will be even. Anyone any ideas how I can find a…

Do I just randomly call suppliers…
