So I'm currently on the EDF Blue Price Promise September 2013 tariff and have been since it came out. I just wanted to check if this is a better tariff than the seemingly newer April 2014 tariff? Or have they just taken the September one and extended the expiry date on it?

How much does a complaint cost the provider
If I make a complaint against my energy provider I understand it cost them a minimum of £350 to defend it. Is that for the complaint or if I contend that they have broken the terms of the license more than once is it for each breach?
