Switching problems
After I heard Martin shouting 'Switch, Switch, Switch' a few weeks ago, I was straight onto the site & managed to get onto Scottish Power's dual gas & electricity fixed rate tariff before it was withdrawn a few hours later. I was congratulating myself & everything seemed to be ok until last week when I received a letter…

New Home, New Bills, Advice please?
Hi, This could be a repeat of a previous question, but I've done a search and couldn't find anything so I'll ask again anyway! I'm just moving into a new house.

EBICO question
Hi there, Electric with Ecotricity (which I'm happy with, even if they're not the cheapest) and gas currently with British Gas. This is obviously a loser and so we're looking to switch.
