Switching from Pre-Pay to Contract
Hi all, We've recently bought a house that was previously a rental property. At the moment, we've got Gas & Electricity via pre-payment and want to move to a standard monthly contract. Hoping to join the Cheap Energy Club, but all of the deals being offered to me on there are pre-payment based on my current payment method.…

Igloo energy
Had an email yesterday from Igloo stating they are dropping their prices, great news better than the other way but I am confused with them. Last year they told me via email that they were increasing their prices due to wholesale prices rises, costs etc etc. Strange thing is they never did put the price up, they said they…

Very High Electricity Bills
Hi, I seem to be receiving unusually high electricity bills over the last few months. I live in a one bedroom flat with my girlfriend, the building itself I presume is quite old (it's one of those high rises, possibly from the 60/70s). We only pay for electricity (dual fuel) as there is no gas in the flat. Anyway, we moved…

Overcharged by Scottish Power?
I recently moved flat and called Scottish Power to notify them that I recently moved in and was planning to change suppliers. I told them I was going to switch immediately after the call and they stuck me on some temporary tarrif and I initiated the switch online. Took about 2 weeks for the switch to complete. I've…

Tariff change without consent
I moved into my new rented property back in August. British gas advised us that £65 would be enough per month and see how we go . For the first month or 2 it was but with winter approaching I put it up to 85 per month via the website. So for the first 3 months we paid £65, then the next 3 months we paid £85. All this is…

Large credit in account
Hello, Due to switching to using gas as my main heating source my electricity use has reduced dramatically. Although I have reduced my direct debit amount, the energy company I use for electricity say I am not due a refund until they do a ‘review’ of my account but they are not able to say when this will be. They did offer…

Estimates WAY OFF
Hi Everyone. Hope you are all well ? I recenlty left EDF to join PFP Energy. I had one of their salesman come to the door and since my bills seemed a little high compared to friends and family I heard him out and said my monthly bills would come down a fair bit.

Off peak electricity, not E7 with EDF
HI, I cannot be alone having 2 separate meters for electricity. One is a normal meter with whatever tariff you choose to put on it and operates 24hrs and the other is an off-peak meter attached to a time clock (on at midnight and off at 7am) and operates a completely separate set of circuits, in my case storage heaters and…

What on Earth is an "Exotic Meter"
So I have moved into this apartment. It turned out that the previous Tennent did a runner (i.e just packed up and left without any contact with the Agent) and left all their bills, accounts open. Since I would have been on the awful standard tariff I wanted to switch to a price frozen, found a supplier and things appeared…

Together Energy
I wish to inform people to avoid Together Energy. I have been with them for twelve months and found a cheaper supplier via MSE. The problem is getting a final bill as they take 6-8 weeks to generate one. I received my November 2018 bill near the end of Jan 2019 which showed my account in credit. I switched to another…

Anyone else followed Martin's advice on the Energy Direct Debit Cycle?
Did anyone else see Martin's Money Show on ITV on 18.2.19 where he showed "The Energy Direct Debit Cycle" and explained that in February you should expect to be 1 month in debit to your energy supplier, and if you're 1 month in credit, your DD amount is probably set too high and you can ask for it back? Well, I've done…
