Superfast fibre broadband - why line rental?
I live in a community of 32 houses. The residents have each paid for an upgrade to fibre broadband to each property as BT were unwilling to upgrade the serving cabinet. Unlike most of the properties in the village where fibre goes to the cabinet and it is copper from there to each house, we are getting fibre from the…

Cheap Energy Club price accuracy?
I'm coming to the end of my current tariff with British Gas and have started researching my next deal. I'm a little confused/concerned that the figures that appear aren't accurate. My projected new tariffs from the BG website are at least half, sometimes two thirds of what the Cheap energy club says. Obviously it is hard…

Can't switch electricity
I've just moved into a new build apartment block and it turns out I can only buy electricity from my landlord (a large investor type). Something to do with the building set-up. My tenancy never mentioned this and I'm pretty sure the rates aren't great. Anyone know what I can do or how common this is? Feels a bit like a con.

Electric heating options
Hi, I've just bought my first property, a 1 bedroom flat, and am considering heating options. I can't have gas or oil, and at present there are storage heaters. The one in the lounge is fairly new and I've been told is fairly efficient, but the one in the bedroom is older. Am I likely to be best keeping them or is there…

Just moved into a new house which currently has British Gas for gas/electricity and also British gas for FIT of the solar panels. I remember seeing martin Lewis say British Gas was actually the cheapest in October on the 'HomeEnergy Plus Boiler Cover Dec 2019' tariff (Not sure of that is correct). Wasn't sure if it's still…

2 Companies collected DD's in same month
This is very annoying, new supply starts 04/11, with first DD collected today 05/11. Old supplier knew about the switch as they emailed to try and stop me leaving yet still collected full amount on 01/11. I've a good mind to reverse it under the DD guarantee. No wonder people are not switching, if you are on a tight budget…

British Gas tripled my bill
We had a phone-call two days ago, from Brotish Gas, informing us that they planned to take £266 a month from us for our electricity as of the 9th of this month, rather than the usual £88. After checking online we discovered we don’t actually owe this amount, so we called back, only to be told that it was really just in…
