Time limits on fuel bills?
I swopped my fuel supplier midway through last year from Firm 1 over to Firm 2. All was sorted out at the time and my account was totally clear with Firm 1 at the time of swopover. My account with current supplier is totally clear now - ie we owe each other nothing. I have just come back to find a bill from Firm 1 - saying…

moving supplier when part-way through moving supplier..
hi, I recently used energyhelpline.com to switch gas/elec from scottish power to npower - this process is currently underway, npower having phoned me up to get meter numbers etc. However i've been hearing some not-so good things about npower (surprisingly large bills etc) recently and i'm not sure switching to them is such…

Pay-as-You-Go Electricity
Hi I am probably missing an obvious website to do this on...but I cant find something so I'm giving this a go. Long story short..just moved into a flat. Electricity is a £1 meter (i.e. I put pound coins in to get electrocity). It seems to be quite keen on these pound coins and I've put about £10 in over 3 days. This seems…

Just had me new smart meter installed... Thoughts
Had my smart meter installed by british gas 3 days ago. At first i thought it was a good idea. The traffic light system is a simple way of looking at the amount of electric you use...BUT... My average quarterly bill is about £100/£120 tops. Now from the display I'm using on average £4 a day in electric. So over the quarter…

What choice do I have!!
I am with Eon on their price protection 16 tariff capped until oct. I currently pay £75 a month, which is obviously already too much as I am £50 in credit. In 10 days time they are going to put my payments up to £120, which is nearly double. Now I know ALL about protecting us for the winter blah blah blah but no matter how…

Confusion over comparison site results??
I find this all very confusing - maybe I'm being stupid but since we moved from Southern Electric to Scottish Power 6 months ago our monthly DD has gone from about £80 to £128 (which seems a bit of a hike). So I've been looking to change again. When I use a comparison site one of the cheapest alternatives is EON, saving…

Npower error - should I have to pay?
I signed up for a fixed rate Npower deal in March 2008. I don't live in the UK and I have no idea how much an average bill should be. The property is a rented property. Npower set me up on 20 pounds a month. I now know that isnt sufficient but at the time I was not aware. It was npower that set the monthly rate and I set…

Eon are ripping me off.....surely
Ive had problems with Eon for the last 7 years - they always estimate my bills despite supplying them with meter readings. Even when they installed a new meter last year, they claimed they still could not understand why there had to be three readings to the meter as their records only show 2. There is Rate 1 & Rate 2 which…

However I obviously don't want to pay the penalty for leaving my fixed price early, but on the other hand don't want to miss out on £60 with Topcashback as…
