British Gas
Hello all, British Gas want to charge my sister inlaw £70 each for gas and electricity if she wants to swap providers which I find is an extortionate amount. Has anyone changed from BG and paid to do so, I swap whenever the bills start to rise and have never paid to change is this just BG ripping people off and can they…

E-on electricity only bill-excuse my ignorance
As I said in the title before you read this, please excuse my ignorance:o Back when I moved into this flat a year ago e-on sent me a whopping electricity bill for 350 quid after re registering me in my name.

Comparison website prices
Do the comparison websites use current prices or prices that have been announced but not yet implemented? In other words British Gas, E.On, Scot & Southern, Scottish Power & Npower have all announced price hikes at different dates, some not yet effective. Are these new rates included in the suggested tariffs?
