Scottish Power Customer Service
Actually got through quite quickly...15mins on the 0800 400 200 number. Lad at the other end was very helpful. Said that 2009 fixed had been removed from the website but was available by phone and removal wasn't imminent. Also said that switching via thirdparty can take a few days longer (up to 5) but SP would honour the…

British Gas v Scottish Power
Last night i helped my parents switch their power supply. The best deal on offer was British Gas so we started the switching process with them. However, when Martins email came out this morning i realised Scottish Power may be cheaper and have just checked their website. Scottish Power work out around £200 p/a cheaper than…

Title says it all.

Possibly relevant - electric cars...
Wasn't sure where to post this, but wanted to tell of my findings at the motor show: Nice Electric Cars ( http://www.nicecarcompany.co.uk/ze-0.html ) could be a good investment if you're buying in Autumn. Around £12k, they go at max 40 mph, last for about 60 miles, take 5 hrs to charge up and according to their rep, cost…

Scottish Power fixed rate to close TONIGHT
I'm moving house so I've been on the phone with utilities all day. I have been informed by a Scottish and Power move expert that their fixed rate deals end TONIGHT when their lines close. As the wait time on my calls to SP has averaged about 30 minutes, that means you had best get your skates on to grab this deal. Also,…

Gas & Elec - confused?
I used Martin's link to the Energy Helpline website to compare prices. We are currently with nPower and only receive bills in January and July. Firstly I compared the annual cost of our bills (although our payment option isn’t available in the drop down box) and found switching to monthly direct debit would be cheaper for…

Have Scottish Power called anyone back yet?
This morning was first chance I had to fiddle with comparison sites, etc., and having done the manual sums as SP's online quote & apply section was failing, decide they may be worth a punt as other capped rates could be about level or above predicted rises for my usage. Called the 0800 number only to be told "someone will…

BG to announce price increase
We knew it was on it's way, but I believe British Gas will be announcing a price increase today or tomorrow. :mad: I don't have any further details unfortunately! Unfortunately I'm with them and I'm struggling to get my head around swapping to capped at the moment....

To Cap or Not... more info and central discussion
As always, when there's a big MoneySaving issues and I'm making a call on something. I know there's lots of discussion around the forums, so I wanted to try and put it all in one place, and set my 'capping' stall out in a little more detail... though do also read the Cheap Energy guide and this weeks tip for a full…

ridiculous cost to move meter
We need to move our gas meter from the kitchen to the outside wall of our new extension - approximately 6 meters. It is going to cost at least £500. Is there a way of getting this done by someone other than (in our case) Northern Utilities? Can a corgi registered plumbing & heating engineer do it? It really seems a lot of…

Oil Heating
There seems to be alot of advice about gas and elec costs but what about people who have to use oil as their heating source. 300 litres was costing around £90 now it has risen to £200 plus. I am on IS, IB, HB so am low income and i am not in any position to pay out these types of cost. I live in Northern Ireland which does…

Price Cap - Confused!
Hi all, Ive been looking into all this capping prices. Im a little confused with it all. It seems capping assumes Im already spending over £1000 a year on elec and gas. But I dont think I am. Ive got a pretty good estimate that we would only spend about 765 - 800. Its only my wife and me. We live in a three bedroom semi,…

British Gas fix and fall rate
Hi everyone sorry if this has been covered already: I have been reading the forum for a couple of hours just in case and am now panicking that I will lose my chance to change. I am currently on British Gas fix and fall rate (fixed until Dec 2008) for both gas and electric and when using the comparison site it says that I…

Is Martin making things worse?
His OTT antics on GMTV etc are panicking people and removing their ability to think rationally and calmly. I'm a fairly savvy chap and even I was rushed into capping without realising it has actually increased my bills. I'll only win if prices go up by about 30%. The problem is that all this panic is creating a false…
