Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) - Poor Customer Service
I have had the misfortune of dealing with SSE since 4th August 2010 when I assumed responsibility for my (then) recently late uncle's utility bills. I had a long conversation at the outset with SSE explaining that it was an empty house but that there would be modest usage of gas and electric and they in turn agreed to a…

When my last estimated bill came through it was nearly £100 more than the previous one so I decided to check the readings, and…

Gas Central heating vs storage heaters - pls help!
Hi, I own a 2-bed maisonette with an old style convection storage heater that I have never switched on. I had an electrician round last week who said it looked a bit dodgy and wouldn't be worth getting it serviced as it would cost £200-300.

unfair or just good business ??
Apparently the wholesale price of gas and electricity is the same now as it was this time last year (according to moneybox) and yet prices (despite this latest round of pathetic haphazard 5pct reductions for some consumers) have in general gone up by an average of 20 %. Of course each of the energy companies are making…
