British Gas using British Gas Trust to talk you into upping debt repayments!
British Gas seem to have sunk to a new low. They are using the existence of the British Gas Trust - run by Charis Grants - to persuade folk to up their debt repayments in a very underhand manner.

The title says it really. I don't have any problem with the provision of electricity or bills. However, I would like to be able to look at my account via the internet.

I've noticed that Martin's energy posts rarely mention Ebico, but for me Ebico usually comes up the cheapest by a fair margin on price comparison sites. This is probably because I'm a low user, but I'm sure there are other low users out there who might benefit from a mention of Ebico. Plus, Ebico is even better for people…
