Its a reposession and has been vacant for a few months at least, and had all services disconnected when the reposession company took ownership.

Getting YOUR money back!!
I'm presently with Scottish Power, dual fuel, capped until March 2011 (thank goodness!). Have just had my "annual review" and my account was £133+ in credit. SP sent my review and reduced my monthly direct debit from £90 to £75.50 and had no intention of offering to refund the overpayment. Luckily I know that I am entitled…

Playing the switching game
Does anyone on here regularly change suppliers whilst using the cashback sites??? Is it worth the hassle and is there only so many times you can rejoin a supplier and get the cash back?

Now, I have stuck to this agreement but I have been paying £10 every week for the gas and £16 every week for the…

Should I have a payment meter installed or stick with monthly direct debits?
Hi, Sorry if this question has been asked loads of times before but I can't see a thread about it. My friend pays for all her gas and elec using a card that she tops up weekly. She says that although it is supposed to be slightly dearer paying that way she finds it better in the long run as she can keep track of all the…

It Never Hurts To Ask
After I was switched to another provider without my permission and the lengthy period it too edf to move me back I ended up with debt on my gas bill so opted to move to a pre-pay meter to pay it back. I quite like it as it's one less bill dropping on my mat. The latest statement had a note to say they didn't have my usage…

Boiler Efficiency vs Reliability
My parents have a gas boiler made by Ideal that was installed nearly forty years ago. Obviously it is much less efficient than the condensing boilers that are now available. I would really like to advise them to install a new boiler, but I can't bring myself to do so because the Ideal boiler has never gone wrong, and the…

Does anyone know???
Having chatted with friends recently over the rising costs of gas and elec., we have found out that some keep their heating on a low heat all day also keeping the water heated all day, and have said that this is better than the boiler firing up twice a day, keeping it constant helps keep the costs down. Does anyone know if…

Changing from prepayment meters
When we moved into our rented house there were already prepayment meters for the gas and electric with Eon - the previous tenant had a debt with them. We asked to change them to ordinary meters and were told we could not do that until we had lived at the address for a year. In that year the price of electric went up and…
