Npower lied about dd payments they would take and doubled my payments help!
I had a doorstep caller from Npower who told me that if I did not use more gas and electricity than I did with my previous supplier he promised I would not pay more than £80 per month over the next 12 months. I signed up as I had been paying £120 per month with my previous supplier so I would be saving money. I have been…

So, EDL tariffs
I can't see any new ones yet, so it doesn't look like they are introducing anymore online tariffs and as the online v8 (and perhaps other tariffs) are coming to an end this month, it looks like time to look elsewhere. A shame really, been with them 10+ years and no problems. They ended the Nectar points a year or so ago,…

British Gas electricity bill arrears due to their miscalculation...advice please.
Any advice will be gratefully received - I have read what I could find on this site and am drafting a complaint letter based on this advice (The Back Billing Code etc).

Scottish Power Online Fixed Price to July 2013 is best for us according to energyhelpline.com by DD and paperless billing. When it comes to DD it strikes me it is always going to be wrong to some degree, though…

Lost the will to live with Scottish Power!
They are totally doing my head in, bunch of incompetent monkeys.
