Help! Credit Check NPower
Hi! So I have just moved into a rented house and now called NPower.

An empty property
Are there any Gas/ Electricity suppliers who do not charge a standing charge on an empty property? I have had a house wrecked by a tenant and at the moment I am unable to afford to do the repairs.

One of the reasons I have not moved, is that when I did a comparison, it would have been cheaper to stay with SP, due to the fact that I am entitled to the WHD, However, I did a search today and found that moving just my electric over to EON would save me £57 a year, with the added bonus of being able to claim the WHD.…
