Comfort plus white meter heating from Scottish power
I tried to switch last year but Scottish Power stopped the switch. They advised me that the only way I can switch is if I change to 1 meter or change my heating system as they control the input to the heating. Is this correct? I have asked what their cheapest option was. I currently pay £100 pm. Their best deal was £99.56!

EnergyHelpline Collective
So, EnergyHelpline's collective is out, and as hinted to by last week's "HotUKDeals" post, EDF won the 1 year fix. It isn't that great a deal though (for me at least) - neither me or my mum in a different region are any cheaper than our recent fixes in the last 2 weeks.
