Help - is my NPower rate SOL11 actually fixed?
I'm due to move to a SOL 11 tariff with NPower in the next few days but due to the expected price hikes soon I asked about capped rates. The lady at NPower assures me that the rates I have been quoted on the SOL 11 tariff will never change so long as I stay on that tariff. It actually seems that capped rates would not be…

Merchant code for British Gas, anyone?
BG are not in my good books at the moment as their marvellous computer system seems to have lost all records that an engineer visited me not once, but twice, with parts, back in December and that I paid for the 'privilege'. Natwest have kindly confirmed that it wasn't a figment of my imagination and that yes, I did pay…

Gas water heating versus electric immersion
It sounds (on the TV) as though gas is going up much more than electric. I'm wondering whether to not use the gas to heat my water twice a day, but bung on the immersion instead. Question 2... If I bung on the immersion instead, will it be cheaper to switch on twice a day for an hour, or to leave it on all the time? Any…

It must be wrong surely,, !!!!!!????????
