Worth Changing Supplier?
As the price drops dont vary that much is it really worth changing supplier? My fiance is with British Gas Dual Fuel, if she started paying by direct debit would she save further as the British Gas web site doesnt make this clear?

Pay up-front with Scottish Power
I have had a letter from Scottish Power saying that if I pay a lump sum in advance, all my energy used will be charged at a 5% discount. It needs to be a minimum of their estimate of a year's usage. I am fortunate enough to have capital and on the face of it, this seems like quite a good deal as interest rates are so low…

How do I find out current energy supplier in new house?
I will shortly be getting the keys to a new property I have just bought. How can I find out who are the current energy suppliers (gas & electrcity) to the property. The property is a bank repossession, and it has not been possible to get an answer from them. They presumably don't know, or don't care. Furthermore, there was…

Do I switch from Eon to Scottish Power
I've noticed that if you switch on Scottish Power you get £100 cashback, and I can't decide whether to switch or not. I don't want my bills to suddenly shoot up, and not be left with much of the £100! With Eon I'm on the price protection tariff v15. Electricity price is 18.15 for first 224kwh and 10.16 for 312kwh. Gas is…

Have scottish power had me??
I had a man knock on my door a couple of months ago and said that there was a problem with my electricity pre payment meter and it was charging us double each week. He said that my meter was owned by them and that he needed my details to get me refunded. I have no idea about these things and he seemed really genuine. So…

Switching power suppliers just a knee-jerk reaction?
Probably like a lot of people at the moment (given the time of year), we have just had a large gas bill. As a result, Southern Electric are telling us our monthly direct debits need to go up from £40 to £98. My immediate reaction was to think “*** it, time to switch suppliers”. In the middle of a Uswitch.com search (which…

Switch From Southern Energy to Eon?
Seemingly cheaper on all the comparison websites even if I don't know my actual useage. Also £62 cashback available via Quidco which will be an addition sweetener. Think I may owe a lump sum to Southern due them setting d/d too low originally which suits them as it will generally keep people with them but I have the cash…

Debt collector
I paid my rather exorbitant electricity and gas bill with Southern Electric in mid-March, admittedly a good few weeks after I received the bill. About a week later I received a letter saying it hadn't been paid and if it still wasn't paid I would be charged for a debt collector to come round and if I was cut off that would…

E.ON threaten with Prepayment Meter
Hi This is a slightly long story, but I have got into a bit of debt with E.ON over the last 12 months or so, mainly due to moving into a new house and the direct debit not being setup and money not being taken. I know this is no excuse and I should have known this wasn't being paid, but that's another debate. The fact is…
