This might seem like a really weird question, but there is a very genuine reason why I'm asking. How on earth do you pronounce SWALEC? Is it "sway-leck" or is there some other way of saying it? :o

Fixed Price no protection
Just received a letter from EDF informing me that my fixed price deal supposed to see me to Dec 2011 has been scrapped from 15th July and replaced by a new one which is 26.6% more per unit. They give you 15 days to accept or reject and switch. After that there will be a charge. So much for price protection contracts.…

Hi Eon rep, I just had a new electricity meter fitted and it starts with a reading of 00009. How long should I wait before I give a meter reading online as I suppose going from 28765 to 00009 will upset the system somehow?:rotfl:

A simple question.
Who do I complain to? Following the price increases announced by Scottish Power, I was, like most people, dismayed at the scale of the price increases. I understand that prices must rise over time, however, i was not prepared for the ACTUAL price increses when I received an "Important announcement about your energy prices"…

Paying for someone else's electric!!!
Hey all, Having recently recieved some whopping electricity bills for our 2 bedroom flat (where we use relatively little electric) we proceded to investigate.
