Advice needed: switched without my permission!
Hi, I looked at my British Gas Electricity account today online to see that it had been closed. When I phoned them, they told me that EDF had taken over my supply. I did not request this and no-one informed me that it was happening. Now both EDF and British Gas tell me that it will take 6 weeks to switch me back and that…

I hope someone can help me out on this. Recently checked my meter as I had been getting huge gas bills despite not having the central heating on very much. To my horror I found out it is using gas at a rate of 8.4 units (cubic metres) an hour, which relates to roughly around 90kwh or so. Previously I thought it was my old…

Change my Key Meter Key?
I'm with Southen Electric for both Gas and Electric. We've long known that there are apparently benefits to switching to a dual fuel tarrif if you have the same supplier but we've liked the convenience of paying the Electric on Key Meter and topping up the key around once a week (sometimes less frequently) for £10 at the…

EON want to charge me £114 a month (dual fuel) is this right??

Price increase Direct Debit bug bear - anyone else
Hi, This has really got my goat for a while, and I think it's unbelievably bad practise of all energy companies, cos, i've pretty much convinced myself they all do it (with no evidence whatsoever), so thought I'd float this one out there to see what others thought. When companies write, as they inevitably do at the moment,…
