Five weeks ago a man came to read my gas meter and told me I owed EDF £1,700. I gave him a cheque for £200 there and then. He told me that I would be contacted to set up a direct debit of £110 per…

Extremely High Electric Bill
Hello. I live in a 3 bedroom flat with two other people. We got an extremely high electric bill for January to March...it was over £820. Over the winter we had four storage heaters on...none of which were on high. We don't have a tumble dryer and each have one shower a day, so I wouldn't say our useage was particularly…

EDF - They've resurrected V5 Dual Fuel Tarif
I'm with EDF and was on V6. I rang them today to discuss a move to Npower and they informed me that they have "just" resurrected V5 dual fuel online tarif.

I live in a shared house, which we are moving out of soon and we recently received a bill from EDF for our gas and electricity which is over double the amount it usually is for this quarter.

Electric switch 2!!
Hi there, I posted a thread yesterday which I have just realised is a bit wrong!! Basically I'm trying to buy a new house (new for me anyways, it was built late 70s early 80s) and it has one of those fuse boards where the wires are wrapped around the fuse, not a cartridge one which has a circuit breaker on. I've been told…

Capped tariff comparison tool
Hi all, Just a quick heads up that EnergyHelpline has designed a new capped energy tariff tool. Enter the capped tariff you're on and it will compare to the standard prices you will likely be automatically put on rather than showing savings based on the ended capped tariff.

Problems with outstanding Gas Bill
We moved into a new build property nearly 2 years ago. After a few months we changed to a "cheaper" supplier and gave the final reading with our details to the original supplier.

Advice please. My electricity is with EDF - the contract has run out and now they won't let me out of it without paying them £500!
