E.On query
I moved into a new build property almost 5 months ago and E.on was the pre agreed supplier of gas and electricity. We were put on their E.On Energy Plan which I believe is their standard tariff. Shortly after moving in, I rang them to try and set up a Direct Debit, but they wouldn't allow this as they couldn't predict what…

Solar loans - too good to be true?
Just got my latest e-mail from uSwitch suggesting a solar loan from Engensa. Never heard of them but basically they sort out the full installation at £0 down payment, then you pay them back over 10-15 years via the income generated by the export tariff. Mmm. Sounds like a free install but then probably limited/no…

I have been reading the other meter as well since I spotted the problem, so I know how much I've used. What final reading do I give…
