Eon refund
Just had a strange letter from Eon. They have stated that when I was a customer (2 years ago) they didn't apply the DD / dual fuel discount to my final bill and although it was their policy it wasn't clear in their T&C's. They have sent a refund as a result. Can't imagine this is uncommon and has no doubt earned companies…

So i dont dispute the new reading i've worked out how much we use in 24hrs approx 17 units, and according to the actual…

Capped/Fixed Tariffs only available for Dual Fuel - not Gas only?
I am confused:confused: Is it true that you cannot get a capped or fixed price tariff for gas but they are available only :huh: for dual fuel deals?

What if......?
I notice that the energy companies have recently stopped offering the long term capped rates and now only rates capped for about a year.... Is it possible that once thousands of people have signed up for these one year contracts (often with fees payable to end the contract), that they will then decide to offer longer term…

I'm already on a capped deal, do I switch now to beat the impending price rises ?.
:question: I am already on a dual fuel capped rate untill Oct 31st 2008 with Scottish Power (with no lock in), if I switch now to their latter capped rate (expires 31st Aug 2009) it will cost me an extra 30% and I will be locked in untill that date. Alternativly, I could go with EON (capped to 30th Sept 2009) with no lock…

What exactly is Economy 7?
Can't find any other threads asking this. I'm down as being on Economy 7, but I thought this was for people with storage heaters (which we don't have). My meter has separate Day and Night readings, does this mean I definitely have an Economy 7 meter? If so, will I save money by asking them to give me a normal meter? Will I…

Are we paying too much?
We're on E.ON Price Protection October 2009, and we signed up before the huge price rises. There was some technical problem when we signed up which meant that they didn't put us on the new tariff immediately. We only noticed this problem after the price rises, so we called up, and they promised us that, because it was…
