He currently pays monthly by budget payments on a credit meter and is owed about…

When to start switch
I'm on a Scottish Power Jan 2015 fix that finishes at the end of December. When should I initiate a switch through the Cheap Energy Club? I know it can take 6 weeks to switch, and I don't want to end up on Scottish Powers' standard rate, but also don't want to pay £60 exit fees! Any ideas? Is there an option to specify…

The new owner moved in the same day and arranged change of address with their own supplier. Scottish Power advised they had closed the account and they paid me the outstanding credit…

Gas, key to 'normal'
Guys, I am buying a property which I discovered has a key system for the gas, one of those red/orange things. As I understand it this is a very costly way to pay for your gas.

British Gas Insulation Eligibility
Hi, I've read the threads on here but I'm not quite sure if my house qualifies. It's older than 1982 (1960 / 70's Ex Council) but it does have a small amount of loft insulation in it already. At a guess it's about 5 - 10mm and looks like it's been sprayed on rather than the rolled up stuff. The cavity walls (As far as…

Scottish power - Estimated bills and appalling customer service
I moved into my property in January this year and the supply was with Scottish power, I called them to try and set up my account and discuss tariffs with them, however when I called I was told my property was on prepay meters (which it wasn't) and it would be £100 per fuel to switch! Obviously I was having none of that and…

British Gas Boiler Maintenance Contract
Has anyone ever called BG to get their contract price reduced and been successful? I started paying BG about £12 a month around 4 or 5 years ago and I am now paying £20 a month. It's a lot of money, for "insurance" really because I don't call them from one year to the next.
