Have nPower already increased prices recently?
I see that British Gas, E.On, and Ebico have either announced price rises or already implemented them in the last couple of months.

I have been conned by British Gas!
I decided to transfer suppliers to them and called them last week to arrange. Then a couple of days ago I get a call from BG about the transfer and they inform me I have 7 days to change my mind.
