Switching Energy Supplier
I am about to switch to fixed rate, but if Eon have reduced gas today, would it be best to wait a while. Presumably electric will go down as well and other companies will follow ?

Electricity debt through incorrect monthly billing.
Can somebody help me with regards the back billing system for electricity bills? We have been with the same supplier for three years, in this time we have provided meter readings and been told that we do not need to alter our monthly payment as it is sufficient for our level of consumption. We are not the best with paper…

EDF Failure to Produce Final Bill
Advice please as to whether I have any recourse. I switched dual fuel from EDF to EON back in November with the MSE Big Switch, meter readings were taken 1 November, although I'm now told that the electricity didn't switch until 11 December. Last night I had a [very aggressive] sales call from EDF saying they could offer…

switching to cheaper supplier.
I dont switch often but have just moved from EDF to Scottish Power using the info from MSE. I now find there are at least four suppliers who go even lower by at least £70 per year, a not insignificant amount. Would any members move again after such a short time? I am inclined to do the gentlemany thing leave it for another…

How to ensure switching coincides with end of contract?
I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere, so apologies if this is an old question... My existing energy supplier's contract finishes at the end of February, but they have a £60 exit fee if I leave before then. How do I orchestrate the switch so that the new supplier takes over on 1st March? Or should I wait until,…

edf meter mix up
Edf are giving me a headache! After contacting them to change my direct debit date, they somehow took two payments from me. One on the 8th (old DD date) and one today (new DD date). I'm eventually getting one payment refunded, but before doing that they wanted Meter readings. I got my Meter readings -gas was fine-…

Left over credit on prepayment meter
I recently moved in to place that has prepayment meters. I've spoken to British Gas and have been booked in to get them swapped to credit meters, but this doesn't happen for another 2 weeks. I've been using the prepayment meter since I've been here, but I've really noticed how expensive it is and I'm constantly topping…

Huge Electricity Usage
Hi, I've been renting a small two-bed (200 y/o) cottage now for around 4 months. During this four months we have used (according to the meter) around 4000 kWh (@ £0.16/kWh = £640), which would equate to around 1000kWh (£1600) per year. Being a working couple, we are only really at home at evenings and weekends. We have the…

Storage Heater Changes
I've just purchased my first property that I'm pretty thrilled about. The one big problem I have with it is the storage heaters. The flat currently has two storage heaters and a standalone on/off heater in the bedroom (never use this anyway). The storage heaters are a bloody nightmare. They release all the heat whilst I'm…

Good time to switch?
I'm considering switching, but with the news in the press about suppliers should be bringing down prices is it a good time to switch and get tied into a years contract? I'm wondering if it might be a better idea to hold fire and see what occurs nearer the election??
