ScottishPower - Online Energy Saver 7 rate.
Can someone tell me where I can find the current rates for this tarrif? I understand they can change it and not tell you about it. The rate on the switch site seem to be at odds with the rate I found on the Scottish power site. I understand there is a Scottish Power rep here.

Southern Electric.
I recently changed my supplier from Southern to Brit Gas. BG told me they would pass on the meter reading to Southern and I would get a final bill from them. When I did get the bill, the meter reading for the day use (up to Nov 14th)was more than the current reading today! The bill was for £22. I rang them and told them…
