southern electris terrible company need some advice
I was quite happy with my elctric and gas supplier before I got a unwanted knock on the door back in 2009. The door sales man wouldn;t take no for answer kept insisting I talk with him as their company could save me so much money and that I was paying a crazy amount for my electric with my current provider EDF but I…

Massive gas bill jump...correct??
Hi I have just had my Dec 11 - Feb 12 gas bill from British Gas. This is £391.56.

Our almost identical…

Eon Restricted Hour Tarrif
Hi I moved last year and the property has an RHT meter and am on Plan 7. Whilst I think my heating is cheap as the bill covers Nov, Dec and Jan, we have not maxed the heating as we were unsure about how much it would cost us. However, what has surprised me is the £231 for daytime rate. We both work long daytime hours and…

Pay for usage
Is there a tariff out there that you can submit your meter reads, then the next direct debit charges you for that amount? I used to be with a company about 10 years ago called servista who were cheap and worked like that. I don't want energy companies offsetting winter/summer use that means they have my money for nothing,…

Do utility companies actually use customer supplied meter readings.....
....apart from when a bill is due? I religiously record my meter readings every week and always submit my meter readings to the utility company when I know that the price is due to change (in the last billing period, there have been three price changes to my tariff). Once I submit my readings, I always get an…

Pre Payment Meters - any advice please
Hello Everyone. We have had pre payment meters in the past with Scottish Power and they used a system of ‘billing’ as well as the pre payment meters. I never liked the fact that once you left the property you could be faced with a bill despite always keeping the meter fully in credit. I have read that some companies do…

Edf and back billing rule
Wondering how this works as it may be the stick I need to beat edf with. I'm still waiting on my first and only bill from them and I switched supplier last July. I've had the gas bill, but am fed up chasing them for the electric one. They say there is a problem with the reads, but my new supplier is using the read I gave…

Best Supplier outside of the "Big 6"
I'm currently with first utility using one of their smart meters. Love their smart meters, hate their customer service and their deferred cashback scheme. I'm keen to stay away from the big boys and wandered whether anyone can recommend a good alternative supplier.
