No gas usage: But want to be on a tariff
Currently I have a somewhat temporary situation of having the gas capped off. Because I got a refund from EON in March for the gas standing charges, because my gas is capped off , I thought since then I was effectively saving monies, but today have been told I cannot be refunded gas standing charges since March. So, I've…

Can prepay meters be as cost effective as other payment options?
I may be stuck with a prepay electric meter because I cannot get it removed without also having an electrician move my consumer fuse unit and I've been quoted £450 for moving the unit 6 inches higher to make space. I was originally intending to move to a standard duel fuel tariff as bill calculators suggested it would be…

MSE Collective switch

Changing supplier could affect your credit rating
I've just seen a episode of Rip off Britain which featured someone who regularly changes his energy supplier. This time he changed to NPower I believe. However, they did 2 hard credit searches on him and that resulted in him being rejected for a credit card a few weeks later. They said that 3 companies do hard credit…

EON-switching advice please!
I'm in a rented flat which is electricity only and have been paying a small supplier called Spark. Suddenly had a visit from two men from EON saying they were going to put in a pre payment meter because money was owed to them!

EON chasing for money that I don't owe from 7 years ago !
EON are chasing me for £160 from a property I rented 7 years ago, for a 2 month duration when I didn't rent the property ! It all started a week ago, because I had my first EON bill a few weeks ago for the house I live in now. So I registered with EON online and thats when I received text messages to contact EON urgently.…

GB Energy says I can now have a smart meter
So, an Email from GB Energy says I can now have a smart meter. I've read a bit of negative reporting about this and wonder if I should go for it. I tend to shop around for energy and I don't want to be stuck not being able to switch because a new supplier can't handle the new meter. There's a link in the EMail supposedly…

When do you turn your heating on?
I'm curious when people give into the chill in the air and switch on their heating. Personally I live in Cambridge (where the high is about 15C these days) and I'm holding out, but barely. Currently wrapped up in a blanket and still freezing! If you haven’t already, join the forum to reply! [purplesignup][/purplesignup]

Scottish Power - Enough is enough!
Hello Everyone Having spent 3 happy years as an Eon customer, I reluctantly moved my dual fuel account to Scottish Power at the end of December 2015 due to them offering cheaper bills.

Final bill and failed dispute
I've left EDF to go to SSE. Was on the standard rate and they've sent me a bill for £80 based on an estimate. I sent my meter readings to SSE and they say they have lost them or somehow they didn't get to EDF. I raised a meter reading dispute but apparently the difference is not great enough for it to be accepted. But…

Moving house, and the fun of closing an account
So... before the summer I moved house, where I was moving to I wouldn't be responsible for paying the electricity bill, so I sent off the final meter reads to the energy company who I was using and asked for the account to be closed. They agreed they had all the information they needed to close the account, and produced my…

Ofgem - simpler tariffs directive(failed)
A couple of years ago Ofgem decided that the ‘tier system’ on tariffs(where customers paid a higher price for the first xxxkWh) was too complicated for many people to understand. At the same time they restricted the number of tariffs a company could offer, again to reduce confusion when selecting the most suitable tariff.…
