Just received written notification from EDF of the price increase - I'm on online v5. They're also now going to charge 11.5p per day for those on an IGT - there used to be no charge for those on dual fuel. Bit of a blow as I hadn't budgeted for that - it's an extra £42 pa on top of the increase. Are there any other…

Scottish Hydro sending low estimated bills
:mad:Beware. Scottish Hydro waited until the day of their massive price hike to send out their low, estimated bills. They really annoy me as I send in quarterly online readings, a meter reader comes out also. To my mind they are not estimates but careful calculations.
