Last night I made a cafetiere (sp?) of coffee but then got called away and by the time I got back to it, it was stone-cold.

Can a supplier still put its prices up if you tell them that you are leaving them?
In Mid November I informed Evo that I wanted to become one of their customers as British Gas had just announced a price rise. This process was completed on December 30th and BG has sent me a final bill which shows a higher tariff from December 10th. Now I always thought that if you changed suppliers your original supplier…

A little help please. Who knows how to read a gas meter?
Hi all, I'm sure that I've been ripped off by Southern for my gas however, I cannot prove this because I don't know what the numbers on the meter mean and also, the people in their call centre are not helping me. I have a digital prepayment meter and I'm supposed to be on Ebico's Equigas at 3.5 per KWh.. There is a screen…

Npower is playing dirty – check your Bill
I received a benign looking letter from Npower before Christmas with the usual sales spiel which I nearly consigned to the bin. As I folded it to tear it in half, I spotted there was some small-print on the back which caught my attention. Npower has secretly increased its standing charges from £57.76 a year (billed £14.44…

EON bill problem
Hi, we have been contacted by EON saying we owe them over £400. We have always paid our monthly direct debit on time for the amount set by EON.

Caller says he can save me 11pc on electricity....
.... but how can he know? Call from my gas supplier suggesting I switch to dual-fuel. Other than telling him which electricity supplier I'm with, he has no details of the tariff I'm on or what my last bill was. At least, I didn't tell him. So how can he possibly promise to save me at least 11pc a year? I would think it…

Cost of Heating
I use Kerosene (28 second oil) in my central heating boiler, the boiler is rated as 70% efficient. With a current cost of 70 pence per litre to refill the tank, when is it cheaper to use electricity for heating. I pay about 10 pence per Kwh as an average. Does anyone know how to work it out ? Thanks
