EDF's £100 bonus
Will we actually get EDF's £100 entry bonus? When you look at the small print they talk of being on supply by 30 November.. or whatever the terminology is. And I wonder whether signing up now or last week as I did, gives enough time to be on supply by the 30th. Are they tricking us into signing up and are then going to say…

EDF Energy/E'On - to switch or not to switch
Hello all, I'm a bit new to this switching lark so not sure how it works. I've decided to finally switch to Direct Debit to save myself some money on my Gas and Electric, and I've been torn between E'On and EDF Energy. E'On according to U'Switch work out at £30 a year cheaper, but EDF do the £100 bonus if you take up the…

quick query
just been on energyhelpline (via cashback), put in my details (i'm with EON now), got the results through, and it says I can save £113 with EON. What gives? I can't switch to my existing provider? Why is this cheaper than what I'm currently paying? Should I call them and tell them I'll switch to EDF (£111 saving) or just…

Gas rebate from Npower
Hi everyone. You may be in for a surprise from your old gas/electric supplier so if you get a letter dont be tempted to bin it without opening it. I have just received a notice for a 40£ rebate. I have to confirm details online. The letter says consumer focus have basically made them repay charges to customers that were…

Electricity Only Comparison - my tariff not shown
Been looking for cheaper deals but each time I try to compare online, it asks me to select my current tariff (Scottish Power Capped Price Energy April 2011) but it isn't an option in the drop down box. Choosing any of the other tariffs gives me various results and savings - none of which will be accurate unless I am…

I had been on a Capped Plan 2010 with EON and renewed to Price Protection May 2012 when the term ended. I have today received my bill, and on it, it states that the Standard plan is cheaper by 5.9%! I was given to understand when I chose the capped tarriff that if energy prices rose, my prices would not, but if energy…

Switch directly or via uSwitch/Energyhelpline
Looking at switching from BG to EDF. Should i switch directly via Quidco or go through uSwitch or Energyhelpline etc? Are their any benefits this way? Cheers

Scottish Power switch - Check your tariff!
My message is simply to check carefully after your transfer that you have been put on and remain on the tariff you selected. We recently switched to SP online energy saver 10 through simply switch. Process went without a hitch. We got our first bill last week which showed a massive price hike in the first period. Closer…

Can National Grid Transco force me to move my meter?
Hi all, Hopefully just a quick one, NGT are busy digging up the road and replacing pipe (only 3 months behind schedule! ;) ) however it looks like they are replacing and moving gas meters to the front (i.e. in a box outside) of peoples houses. Personally I think they look unsightly, so basically can we be forced to have it…

Total newbie with no existing providers
Hi energy experts I've recently purchased a flat and am trying to find the cheapest provider of gas and electricity. It's only two of us in a relatively small flat, so usage is going to be low I have no previous supplier, so switching is not applicable to me - and the comparison sites don't seem to cater for my category...…

First Utility - Avoid!!!!!
Having seen some reveiws on the above company, I thought I post my experience with the company! I like to think myself as someone who is always on the look out for saving money!

Uswitch - Cashback!
I switched to Scottish Power in July and was promised a £50 Cashback within 9 weeks. To date, NOT paid and poor excuses by Uswitch - be CAREFUL, even MSE have been advised but no reponse from them either!
