When do I tell them I;m leaving?
I'm moving house at the end of June and need to let the electricity company know so that they can render a final bill. My question is, do I tell them now, or wait until my last day, provide them with a meter reading and ask them to send me a final bill?

I really don't want to end up like British Gas did last time of paying almost double for 6 month then next to nothing for the next.

A few questions for the Scottish Power rep
I am currently on the Online Discounted July 2010 tariff. From what I can tell, my tariff will revert to the standard (monthly DD) rates on 1st July.

First Utility can't supply gas meter for 28mm pipe
I switched to first utility in May (No laughing) and when onstream came to switch the smart meters they did the electric but said they can't do the gas meter as the pipe is 28mm and not 22mm. The larger pipe was installed previous to stop the pressure drop as the boiler is quite a few yards away. As any one else had this…

Prepay meter debt
Hi, we has our meter changed recently (just a new PP), the old one showed the total debt on the meter but the new one doesn't, is it a requirement to show the total debt ?
