Homecare is it worth it?
I recently signed up to BG Homecare in November after another £100 call out to repair my boiler (happens at least once a year for the past 3!). Now reading the smallprint it seems to say if its not cost effective or the boiler is over 7 years old then they will not repair it and it will need to be replaced at my cost. Now…

Prepayment statement confusion
I've just received my first nPower statement for prepayment electricity and I'm a little confused. From 05/11/08 to 29/12/08 the bill says we spent £81.11 on electricity, but made payments of £245, leaving us £163.89 in credit. I thought the prepayment meter meant that we only paid for the electricity we used? I've checked…

Energy Bill 'Lock-In' not all it appears!!!
During the 2008 price increase lock-in panic, I could not get online to view the lock-in T&C's of Southern Electric and Gas, due to high volume on the site.

Gas Kwh unit split
Hi, My gas is currently with EDF, and I'm intrigued to know how the kwh is split into the high rate and the remaining charged at the lower rate.

Can I switch with a large debt?
Hi All, Apologies if this is a common question, but I couldn't find it. I've been living in my place for 2 1/2 years.

Economy 7
Having seen Watchdog earlier in the week and the piece about economy 7 meter readings being taken incorrectly and people getting charged the wrong way round, I decided to check my meter. Basically since I moved into my house in 2002, I reckon they've been charging me the day rate for my night usage and vice versa. I've…
