Spark Energy - what's the catch?
I went through uswitch comparison yesterday, and it came back with Spark Energy "Spark Advance 2" tariff as being the best deal. Hastily, I decided to apply to switch to it. Now I'm not so sure.

British Gas to EDF - meter problem
Folks, can I have a wee bit of advice from you? I moved into this pensioner’s flat in July 2009 and on the morning of the moving-in date there was a strong smell of gas. An engineer was here in 10 minutes and replaced the meter. He felt that the folks who moved out the day before had perhaps damaged the old one as they…

Npower Problems In Spite of Phone Calls
In the beginning of 2012 I transferred my gas and electric to Npower on the promise that I could change from pay meters to credit meters.

nPower nightmare for me and my friends
nPower seems to have gone into meltdown. I recently transferred to them, after the recommendation on moneysavingexpert and after having checked via a price comparison website.

Hi all, I'm with EdF and signed up long ago to their Blue April 2014 tariff, and have been very happy. They've messed up the bill a few times, but a phone call or two has usually resulted in them fixing it. Recently, I received a letter saying that due to a ruling by Ofgem, EdF were being forced to remove the discounts…
