Scottish Power
I moved into my flat last August 08 and had a lady knock on my door saying she can do me a fixed direct debit till dec 09 of £30 a month. I thought wow, dirt cheap, so agreed, signed the things and off she went. After a couple of months that fixed direct debit went up to £50 a month and then went up to £75 a month and then…

Problems with British Gas
This is a somewhat long and complicated situation so I'll try to summarise as best I can. In 1999 I moved into a property and set up direct debits with the utility companies which were paid on time and in full until late 2001 after I unfortunately became ill and had to leave work. This was due to stress related issues…

Fed up with EDF Energy
I guess this is probably a similar situation for many and with other energy companies too? Since moving out with the g/f in September 2008 into rented accomodation and starting fresh with EDF on a dual fuel tariff basis (I was hoping it would make things cheaper and easier) I've had nothing but problems... - Messing up the…

Doubling my Direct Debit a few months after signing up
A few months ago we switched suppliers, dual fuel, to Scottish Power. I gave them accurate usage information. They said they could save me money and my DD was set at 64 pounds a month. Yesterday I get 2 emails from them, one saying they need a meter reading (they haven't had one since I switched suppliers), the other…

Fixed so cheap - prices due to go down??
Should I fix with EON till 2011 or switch to EDF’s variable rate which is a similar price? Does it suggest that because many fixed rates out there at the moment are the same or even cheaper than competitive variable tariffs gas and electricity prices are due to go down? Or do I stop being cynical and just lock in to the…

Comparison sites accuracy questionable
After reading about the British Gas offer I decided it was time to do some comparisons for my electricity.. Currently with Scottish Power the comparison sites told me I could save about £40/£50 a year by switching to British Gas. However I did the sums myself, found eventually BG rates per Kwh then found Scottish Powers…

Energy Company Reading the Wrong Meter
My parents have recently had a new energy efficient boiler installed to no economic benefit. My dad was concerned that they were being over-charged for gas so he asked for someone from the energy company to read the meter. They said the bills were correct. Still not happy with this conclusion, my parents have been…

PLEASE HELP, energy smart monitor, have i installed it right?
I got my energy smart monitor today from BG and in the next to useless manual that came with it, it says to attatch the sensor to ANY cable on your meter, yet on their installation video online it says to use the FAR RIGHT HAND CABLE as this is your live feed cable, and this will give you the read of power being consumed.…

I have noticed many of you have fantastic knowledge about many matters and was hoping you could put that to use and maybe give me a little help :) .

EDF Engery
My other half is currently with EDF for his Gas. He recently received a bill for over a £1,000.00 as he had not received a bill for at least a year. Which they don't seem to care about they are just interested in payment. This is not a problem in itself, but they reckon he used at least £300's worth during August/Sept.…

Throw away your filament light bulbs
If you're still using the old-style, filament incandescent light bulbs, you're just burning money. Last week, I bought some of the new 11W (equivalent to the old 60W) Energy Saving light bulbs from Lidl at an incredible 29p each. Even at their usual price of 49p they're worth buying. Don't wait until your old bulbs blow…
