Is anyone fixing for another year?
I am on Eon's SaveOnline dual tariff. The prices for their FixOnline3 are the same but have a 2% additional discount. But how are prices going to move in the next year. We all know that energy prices SHOULD be coming down - but the energy providers have just warned us that they expect prices to rise. Doesn't make sense at…

NPower Sales Tactics
I appreciate this is nothing new as they've already tried this on me once before, but this is a warning to anyone naive enough to fall for NPower's deceitful sales ploy. They came to my house yesterday saying that I was on their list (he knew my name) of people who (can't remember exact spiel) had been identified as paying…

United Utilities - Gas meter change
Just a word in relation to Meter changes that are ongoing at the present time. I got a letter stating that a meter changer would be calling between 8am and 8pm on a day in September.

Hi all, Been with Southern Electric for 2 years now, had a look at the meter a couple of weeks ago and noticed that their estimates amount to around 1500 units less than what the meter actually reads (about 1,000 daytime units and 500 night time).

My account with my utility company is significantly in credit (presumably because I have been building up a credit balance for anticipated higher winter use) but I have decided to switch energy providers ahead of winter to enjoy cheaper rates. This is a process that should take 4-6 weeks so I have cancelled my existing…

Meter reading not accepted on switch of supplier
Can someone in the know please comment on this. A couple of months back, I was persuaded to switch to UW for Gas and Electric (this was a mistake, and I immediately organised a switch back to npower, but on a better tarrif). However, we gave UW our meter readings. After about 4 weeks (and after I had started the process of…
