Economy Energy customer service
Does anyone use this supplier? I switched to them this spring after a few years with First, and I'm not at all impressed. I noticed that my Direct Debit didn't go out on the allocated day, so I tried logging into my online account to see what my balance was. This was about a month back now, but the online account has been…

Scottish Power Weathercall system - worth keeping?
We've moved into a new all-electric flat (built in the early 1990s) recently, which, according to Scottish Power, has the "ComfortPlus with Weathercall" system, which seems to be some sort of proprietary three-rate system which varies the supply of power to the storage heaters in the property depending on the weather. I…

Wayleave query
Hi all, I wanted to ask for some advice. We were recently approached by a company (PCC) offering to help us get payment for overhead electrical wires crossing the garden of our property.

Switch from Sainsburys
Good morning I've just made the switch from Sainsburys to EON and was wondering if anyone knows how long Sainsburys take to create a final bill. It's only just over a week since the switch. The online account says it's closed but no sign of the final payment (I'm in debit). Many thanks

Npower "If you pay this balance off..."
Hi all, bit confused about the latest bills I'm getting from npower. So, I have a new bill today, and they've informed me that my direct debit will go up to £87 from £56 per month. Not ideal, but here's what's confusing me: On another page, it says that if I pay off the current outstanding balance of £24.05 within 10…

I feel I have been 'conned'
My latest bill from Southern Electricity showed I was £300 in credit, at the end of 12 months. However, they informed me they were upping my direct debit amount from £90 to £121.00! So as advised, I decided to switch as recomended on this site, and indeed I did it through this site. With 12 months' summary in hand I filled…

Final electricity bill ridiculous!!
Hi all, We switched our electricity supplier to Flow Energy last April (2016) and have been paying between £25 and £51 per month as a direct debit (they increased it last Christmas).

No running water at home!
Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post but I haven't had running water in my flat for coming up to 2 days. There was a burst water main in our basement which was reported by one of the other residents in my building on Friday (we didn't have water then either). Someone came out and "fixed" it and we had running…

Am I missing something obvious?
I've just been onto the Cheap Energy Club trying to start the switch process. On looking at the form, I saw that it was only asking for details of my electricity meter (MPAN) and NOT my gas meter (MPRN) (I was only looking at dual fuel deals, and it was one of these that I'd clicked on) I was nervous of even starting to…
