N-Power Con
Hi All, I'm looking for everyone who are having problems with N-Power. I haven't had a consistent bill from them for years as they kept re-issuing bills, however their system cannot tke into account payments made already stated on a previous bill, therefore when a bill is wrong and they re-issue it that bill is also wrong…

Standard Rate on E& Meter
I am nearing the end of my British Gas Collective Switch Feb 17 and have just tried to move to PFP but have been told that I can't have the deal as I would have to go on to their E& tariff which I don't want to as I don't use it. They said i could switch and then pay £72 to have the meter changed by them, but that is half…

I recently switched my parents through MSE's Cheap Energy Club from Scottish Power to Co-operative Energy. The application was accepted on 07 Dec 16 and the switch happened on 13 Jan 17. I admit that I never looked at the bills but my Dad often complained they were taking lots of money every month and he was sure there is…

Npower
Hi hope someone can help. Back in 2012 my husband worked in a newly opened restaurant and opened an account with Npower on their behalf. But he left in February 2013 as the restaurant was due to close which it did shortly after. Then in August 2016 he receives a letter from the county court to our home address addressed to…

One of the lowest priced providers is Bulb and with no exit fee they appeal so if a better deal comes along I can switch again. Does anyone have any feedback about the company and how long the switching process took with…

My Mum is on a ventilator at home and uses lots of electricity with various essential machinery. She can't claim pension credit, does get Attendance Allowance but no other means tested benefits. Her pensions add up to about £500 per year more than the qualifying income for Homefront. My question is:- is there any supplier…

Moved into a house with a deemed business contract
Hi all, I know Deemed Contracts are discussed from time to time, but I moved into a house that previous had a business supply (well, the downstairs was business, the upstairs was domestic!). Anyway ignoring that, the business supply was VERY expensive - something like 27p/unit day and 23p/unit night, with a standing…

Smart meter incompatibility and chaos
I have had a smart meter with E.ON for a number of years and it works fine. When it was installed E.ON told me that, while the meter belongs to them, if I ever changed supplier, the major suppliers subscribe to an information interchange scheme and meter readings would be automatically passed to them. Following lobbying…

Scottish Power "Final Bill"
Hello everyone, I had quite a large debt with Scottish Power, and had a prepayment meter installed. I finally paid off the debt about 2 years ago (whoop!) at which point the meter stopped taking the repayment charge (I gather they update via signal through the key). I moved out of the house in September 2016 leaving £10 in…

Leaving UK in August... is it worth switching now?
Hi all, Me and my partner are going to be leaving the UK in August 2017 to head down under. We did the collective switch last year which ends in February and I'm wondering what the best option is given that we only have about 6 months left.

Insulating uninsulated flat
I live in a council flat which has minimal amounts of insulation in the building. I do mean minimal. My place leaks heat like a sieve. As it's council property, I can't exactly do renovations. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep the place warm? The windows and doors are fine. The heat vanishes through the walls…

Smart Meter Signal Compatibility
I may get a bit ranty with this. Sorry. I currently have my gas and electricity through Ebico, which is part of SSE on Pre-Payment meters. Ebico does have a single price rate but depending how you look at it. However, I won't argue on that right now. I live in a block of flats with 11 residences. Both my gas and…

British Gas Homecare
Do you have British Gas Homecare? I have it to look after my 15+year old boiler, plumbing, drains and electrics and kitchen appliances (it has been a godsend in the past!).
