Another MSE collective switch vent
MSE would not announce the date of the collective switch and it looked like it was going to be after my last collective switch ended - so I switched to another supplier. Now I dont know if the latest switch is cheaper or not but I can't apply for it as I'm told I'm still in the process of the last switch. If you are going…

Can I switch energy supplier if I owe them money after they messed up bills?
Hi, I have had issues with Npower for a while now after they have really messed up my billing over the last 3 years. To cut a long story short, I now apparently owe them nearly £900.

npower compensation
Hi there all, Just here for o advice if you think the offering from npower is fair or if they are trying to compensate as low as possible for the problems. In 2014 we left npower and had major issues with getting a final bill, eventually they sent a bill but it was over 12 months later and we were covered by the back…

Scottish Power Fixed Price Energy April 2017
The booby trapped non-charity two year fix is gone. The new April 2017 is decent value, but it has exit penalties! :eek: £30 per fuel, £60 for both. "They can never take our freedom!" Scottish Power is obviously not a fan of Mel Gibson. I have surprised even myself. For at least five years, I have gone for the cheapest one…

Collective switch - current supplier competing
I've been with Scottish Power since I bought my house 10 years ago and they've always tended to be one of the most competitive suppliers so haven't swapped as savings were trivial. I have gone for the new switch to British Gas as I would be going from £633 down to £553 a year. Scottish Power have now called trying to get…

Why can we not change water supplier?
I have started a petition to try and get regulations to allow consumers to change water supplier so the process is the same as we have for gas and electricity. I am supplied with clean water from Southern Water and waste water is billed by Thames water even though I do not live anywhere near London. I think everyone should…

Change of name on dual fuel account
Our gas and electric is currently with first utility in my wife's name. Thinking of switching to the british gas collective fix which will save us £69 per year £129 minus the £60 exit fees from first utility. Does anyone know if we can change the account name from my wife's to mine (same surname) when we switch? Cheers

Free Boiler - any choice?
Hi, We have been approved for a free boiler and the fitting company want to install an IDEAL ESPRIT HE30 boiler. Having read the reviews, they seem a little flakey. Do I have to go with this boiler? I asked if I could have a vaillant or more reliable model and they advised we would need to pay £500 extra... Is there a cap…
