Eon - Frequency of Bills
Hi, I am with Eon for both gas and electricity. I haven't had a bill since June so emailed them to ask why. They said that as I pay monthly I will only get a bill every 6 months.

Sites that compare electricity unit prices?

Stupidity of meter reader
I have an on-line account with Scottish Power and I read my own meter every quarter and enter the amount used on the internet and they calculate the billl. As I understand it every meter has to be read by someone official at least once a year, presumably to ensure you are not misreading it. Today the meter reader came…

Moneysupermarket.com not giving me my cashback
I heeded the warnings and locked in on British Gas's December 2009 price guarantee back in July. Good job I did too as around a week later the plan was removed, then the big hikes started just after this and the former plan I'd just left rose well above the BG rates. Anyway this is all painting a picture. The real problem…

I switched from Southern Price Fix 2008 to NPower Price Fix 2011 earlier in the summer, just before the huge increases. By my reckoning (based on a spreadsheet showing my actual consumption under the various leading tariffs), prices needed to rise around 35% in 2008 (which they more or less did) plus around 15% in 2009 and…
