Overnight temperature monitor
Hi all, have just taken over an aged relatives house as he is in a care home now. I had his boiler serviced but it failed the smoke test and the gas engineer turned the boiler off and placed a warning notice on it. I have borrowed some oil filled radiators and left them on a timer but have no idea whether the house will be…

To my horror a relative in their 80s asked for my help. They signed up with a business supplier on a 55 month contract for supply of gas to their house. They have 18 months remaining and talking to friends now realise they are paying too much. They phoned and asked to break the contract and have been told NO. I estimate…

Best supplier for Economy 7?
I've recently moved into a rented flat which has Economy 7. There are 2 night storage heaters but apart from that the only things in use at night are the boiler, phone charger, alarm clock and fridge/freezer. I'm at work during the day when the unit prices are higher but the night usage is ridiculous and I've managed to…

Iresa
Until recently I took my gas and electricity from Iresa. I found them difficult to contact and very slow at replying to requests or even complaints. They continually overcharge me and I built up £300 credit with them. I then tried to leave them, my electricity account was transferred to another supplier but gas remained…

Hi, I bought a house about a week ago, and have been waiting to be contacted by the energy suppliers (I expected that they would be in touch pretty quickly).

Scottish Power - Smart Meters.
Had an email from Scottish Power in the summer saying that they were fitting smart meters in our area and to contact them to arrange a date, which I ignored. About two months later came a phone call from them saying their fitters were now in the area and would I like mine done, to which I replied no thanks I do not want…

Prepayment meters
I have been lucky enough to buy my own house 3 months ago. The only thing is that it has prepayment meters in. These are with British gas. I asked to have credit meters installed at the beginning of October so British gas said they would need to do a credit check. I agreed. They said I didn't meet their criteria so…

Requesting court documents relating to a payment meter
So today a bunch of guys from edf turned up to fit a pre payment meter for gas. I was at work but on the phone to my partner. They refused to show him the warrant or how much was owed because it was in name but refused to tell us how we could get a copy of the warrant. Edf had gone to court despite telling me that they'd…

Martin is not accurate enough!
When advising the Nation about switching, one BIG fact is always missing from ML's advice and that is: As you come towards the end of your fixed year (the last 49 days) get your current supplier to email to you your NEXT FIXED TARIFF's price they would be putting you on and then make the comparison against the rest of the…

Long Shot
Hi all, Just a long shot, finished contract with British Gas last Nov (2016). Was written to today to advise they refunded twice and want £410.50 back asap. I have checked the statement and they are right. My question is, do i have to? Just don't have £410.50 20 days before Christmas with a single income family. Any help…

What is the point of switching
In September, British Gas informed me that they were increasing prices by around 25%. Even me, a very reluctant switcher, had to do something about it. So I went on MSE and found out that I could save most of that increase by switching to Toto Energy. Hurray. So I switched, not without difficulty. Toto was clearly…
