Standing order or British Gas Essentials?
Hi, I was able to open a bank account, so I wrote to Scottish Gas to ask them to take out the key meter so I could pay for gas and electric by direct debit.

I think EON have dun me like a kipper
Well I think that's the phrase. After seeing Martin's advice numerous times about switching to a capped tariff for Gas and Electricity I decided to go to Eon via their on-line system about two months ago (may have been less than that). I was already with them for Electricity and so was switching from British Gas for the…

She should qualify because she is switching from…
