Billing Farce
Hi All, I am currently getting my electric and gas via nPower. I have had problems since April 2008 when I discovered that our economy 7 meter's time clock was not correct, thus we were being billed incorrectly.

When is Economy 7 worth it?
Apologies in advance, I'm sure the answer is probably on here but I just can't find it....:confused: I'm sorting out my Mum & Dad's fuel provider as NPower have just hiked their payments up massively. They currently have an economy 7 meter, but their night time usage is only about 27%. Is it worth them staying on economy 7…

I have worked out how much gas we have used in the last year and it is just under 28,000 kwh. This seems very high and eon…

does this sound a lot for monthly fuel bill
Hi there we pay Scottish Power £190.50 per month for gas and electric by direct debit. We have a 4 bed detached with no double glazing but I'm quite careful with heating etc. It breaks down as just over half as much for electricity as gas.

Billed twice, what should I do?
Hi, I moved into a new flat in march of this year. It is rented from the local council. Now, it turns out that the council switch energy suppliers when a flat is vacated, I assume they get some kind of kickback from the energy supplier, in this case Southern Electric for doing it. However, I had spoken to nPower a couple…

Southern Electric Moneysavers Vouchers
Having recently switched to Southern Electric they have supplied a booklet called Moneysavers. It apparently provides access to discounts of up to 10% from such major retailers as House of Fraser, PC World, M & S. Major catch seems to be that £100 vouchers must be bought as minimum. Has anyone any experience of this?
