Eon Huge monthly payment
Eon have just put our direct debit up again by £50. We have let the meter resders in and regularly phone ourselves with the readings, but they have consistently used estimates and now say we owe over £800 due to under estimation. We have phoned them as we don't have this money and cannot afford another £50 per month, we…

Possible gas meter problems
Hi all, I believe I have a possible problem with my gas meter. I never have a problem with my bills because I usually take weekly readings - this is to avoid estimates and it helps me as well budget better and know my usage. I would normally use between 200-300 KHw of gas a week (obviously depends if I turn the heating on…

gas/electric help
I frequently lurk on these forums, but havent yet posted anywhere, but I'm not sure what to do regarding this... I moved into a rented house in December, and the letting agent sorted out the water and tv license, and I thought they were doing the gas and electric too, but I've just realised that they haven't, and I haven't…

Deciding to switch - it's giving me a headache...
Comparison sites look like they help, and initially it looks like the decision to switch is a no-brainer. In my case, switching from first:utility iSave 1 according to the comparison sites will save me £446 over the next 12 months if I switch to separate gas and electricity billing from other suppliers (bg for gas, npower…

Brit Gas Cold Calling Door to Door nuisance
We had one of those cold calling energy reps round last night from British gas, the bloke was quite pushy, so much so he was practically pushing his way into our house. As soon as I realised what his game was, I endeavoured, quite politely to make it clear we were quite happy (as much as you can be these days) with our…

Atlantic Gas & Electric - any good today?
