1st time buyer
Hi, just picked up the keys to my first house and looking to get a gas and electric supplier, but without having any past usage to go off, any advice on who is good to go with?

Stitched up like a Kipper by British Gas
I am at a complete loss about what to do but please take my advise and avoid British Gas unless your life depends upon it. Firstly our business failed 3 yrs ago so we had to go bankrupt. We have been ensuring no further damage to our credit files and working hard. Thanks to Martin we realised we were paying over the odds…

EON (HES) Boiler/CH cover so slow to help
Thought that people considering getting boiler or/ and central heating cover from EON (HES) might like to know that despite having such cover i have been without hot water at my house now for almost 4 weeks. They have not even tried to fix it yet - just a couple of inspection visits follwed by week long waits for the next…

For 2 years we have been getting billed by npower for gas they were not supplying because they did an erroneous transfer and have actually been billing us for next doors meter while our previous supplier has actually been supplying and billing us too. Wont say much more but it took months and we involved the ombudsman who…

British Gas! Can I Really Have Used £500 a Month??? **UPDATE** In Credit!
So the result of the investigation into meter readings has come out and apparently my bill is not £1092.14 in debit. But in fact £135.25 in CREDIT! *round of applause* So I've just got my final bill from british gas. My DD was set at £55 for electric and gas (suspiciously low right??) but with two people working full time…

How do I get units in Kwhs?
Decided to get very accurate readings this year to put through the comparison sites, so I have readings from the same date 2012 and 2013. Ive subtracted the two, and ended up with a difference of 27668 units for E and 424 units for G. I thought then , that to represent them in kwhs, I had to do this sum. units x 2.83 x39.2…

British gas £100
I took up an offer from BG last year for a £100 'refund' at my year anniversary with them . The catch was, that the special unit rates 'attraction' bonus , finished two months before the end of my anniversary date . As these last two months are low usage usually , I figured it was a fairly safe gamble. I had a problem with…

There is a barrier around it that is encrouching on to my driveway so that i can't drive into my driveway, and also the barriers are on my lawn.…

fixed price tariffs
I'm already on a fixed price deal with edf till April 2014. Martin Lewis mentioned edf's new "blue promise" tariff which fixes prices till 28 February 2015. I've no idea how to compare these two tariffs, but should I ask edf if I can switch to that latter tariff ? Is that a good idea anyway ? Has anyone switched tariffs in…

Extortionate Bill - Help!
I've just received a bill after submitting a meter reading to British Gas and they are trying to charge me £715 for 6 months of gas. Surely this can't be correct. The meter readings suggest that we've used 1348 units, which I believe converts to roughly 15000kWh. To me this figure seems very high considering we don't use…

If I switch now can I specify a date when I want the new supplier to take over I.e the day after my cheap contract ends. Or will I have to wait until the day I come out of contract before…
