Warning for those who are switching from Scottish Power
I noticed that SP had set up a new DD titled SP Gas so didn't cancel my other SP direct debits thinking they would only take the amount to cover gas which hasn't switched yet. Electric switched almost 3 weeks ago. Checked my bank account this morning and they have taken two direct debits which combined adds up to the…

What and what BG Homecare covers
Now winter is round the corner it maybe worth checking what your central heating/hot water maintenance covers. A couple of years ago my boiler broke down. BG came out and said the heat exchange had failed as it had sludged up. Assuming they would repair I was told BG do not cover this, despite BG coming round and…

Scottish Power provision of earth connection
I recently found out my flat was not properly earthed to current standards when I had central heating put in. My electrician would not finish his work - earthing the boiler - until I got this sorted. I contacted my supplier, Scottish Power, and just had their quote in - £503.13, which seems way excessive to me. The guy who…

Monthly or Quarterly Direct Debit?
Hi i'm with Southern Electric & Gas and currently paying quarterly DD. I'm dreading the winter as last winter the combined bills came to around £500 for the quarter.

Economy 7 - got it but don't want it
I've got an Economy 7 meter. I don't think it will do me any good. The only electric that will be used at night is for the water boiler just before 7am. I've read up on the tariffs and EDF's new Online Energy v5 seems best for me, but it says "This tariff is not available to ... customers with an Economy 7 meter". I…
