Bamboozled by Scottish Power

EDF bill rip-off
Just had my gas bill off EDF. They made a big deal about not raising their prices till after the winter unlike most others - prices went up on 2 March. My bill covers the period early Feb till late May (nearly 4 months, for some reason). It has an actual reading at the start and at the end, and an estimated reading on 2…

Is entering meter readings early With Scottish Power a big mistake?
Hi I notice I get charged about 18p for the Primary kWh electric and then 7p a kWh secondary after that so is it cheaper to not send your meter readings to early and get more 7p kWh? I compared two bills and worked out an average of 10p kWh on one and 11.3p kWh on another with the 11.3 kWh bill being for a shorter time…

Npower massive bill
So on the 10th of May I received my quarterly bill from npower for electric - £874.25. I live in a 1 bedroom flat with economy7 heating so everything is electric but surely this is a crazy amount?

Scottish Power queries
On my latest bill from SP it says that we could save £100 a year if we went to a PAYG meter. Surely this is wrong ? I thought the meters were dear? We are on the standard tariff, paying cash when the quarterly bill comes in. Also I \note the prompt payers discount last time was £11 on a £70 bill, and this one is £4.30!!…

Confused
I have just started shopping around as my tariff ends soon. I'm ashamed to say I don't understand the comparison site results. They are all the same and tell me that I will make a saving of £-199 for the top result. Does this mean I make no saving at all? Last year I fixed with EON for just one year, surely by going onto…

Hi, About two weeks ago our heating went off, I ended calling the gas company who sent an engineer. Before they sent the engineer, they told me that if the fault was on the premises, there might be a small call out charge. To cut a long story short, it turns out that the fault was on the premises and I ended up fixing it…
