Standard tariff with E7 meter?
Hi, just wonder if anyone knows: Will utility companies let me have a standard tariff even though I have an Economy 7 meter?

If you strip out the government taxes - money which doesn't go…

E-On Boiler Care
Had an E-on gas engineer visit this evening to look at my boiler which was leaking slightly. Having looked at the boiler for a while he said the heat exchange seal had gone and was now deemed dangerous so would need to cap the supply.

Npower owe me money but are taking their sweet time
Firstly, apologies either if this is the wrong forum (it seemed right!) or if it's been asked before - I did try to search but couldn't find anything obvious related to Npower house move refunds. That seems ominous in itself... Anyway, my situation is that we moved house in September. Npower were our old supplier, who we…
