Money Owed To NPower
Hi I moved into a two bed flat around 16 months ago and agreed to a dual fuel tariff. The actual gas readings were 1810 kWh for 18 days (was in May) and that was the last reading. Npower estimated that I would need to pay £30 a month for Gas via direct debit. So I paid it and never took another meter reading until now (BIG…

Question about EDF contract
My parents are in the process of changing supplier to EDF, they've gone for the fixed price 2014 deal. Now they've had another chance to mull over the t&c's they've noticed that EDF reserve the right to alter their unit prices or even end the deal - I think it might be clause 12. Is that pretty standard wording on a fixed…
