Capped - but have a huge bill!
Hi, In July (I think) I changed my electricity and gas accounts to Eneregy Saver capped accounts with EON, submitting my meter readings at the same time.

British Gas - what time is their call centre open until?
Their recorded massage says their 'business hours' are 8am - 8pm, but what happens if you call them and get put on hold a few minutes before 8pm? The looped music message is continuing after 8pm, implying I'm still in a queue, but have they all gone home now, or are they still answering those calls placed on hold before…

Misled by Swalec?
I have just swapped to Swalec after being with Eon for some time. I used one of the comparison websites to look for a capped deal when Martin was recommending this a couple of months ago.

Economy 7 charges

Cancelling a switch
I had someone from EDF come to the door and we looked at the prices and yes it was cheaper so I agreed to sign up for the fixed price deal, but I only had an electricity bill to hand so wasn't sure about the gas. But I was assured I had the right to cancel within 12 days if the gas price didn't stack up. When I did get a…

"Energy Saving" GU10 light bulbs
as title says - but do they exist these bulbs seem to be a waste of money as they don't last long and you need a good few to get a room to be well lit - which means they aren't really as economical as the bayonet ones thanks

Are Scottish Hydro taking the ...
My electric bills were averaging £90 every 3 mnths but when I decide to move they send me a final bill for £139.
