EON said that was fine…

Identity Fraud - gas/electric account, seems very easy!
Hi all, I'm having a bit of a dispute with EDF Energy at the moment, and the whole thing seems a bit weird. They say I owe money for an energy account at an address that I moved out from many years ago. The money owed is for 2009, when I was not even living in the same city any more.

Eon, Simplyswitch, and how it doesnt always work
I thought I'd share my experience of how Eon did not cooperate with SimplySwitch so I ended up with no Amazon vouchers. I had never switched, was on standard Southern Electric and British Gas so following advice here I chose to switch to Eon Fixonline 9. On 22/12/10 SimplySwitch told me EON had declined my application…

British Gas Websaver 5 Tariff coming to an end

Switching - help!
I think I'm probably being a bit stupid, but here goes... (I don't usually have any trouble switching my gas & electricity, I do it semi-regularly) I got a letter from EDF today saying they were putting me on their standard tariff next month as my online saver v5 one has ended. I assume that's not going to be a favourable…

Can I get a gas meter installed for less than £89.33 or should…
