Changing supplier after moving house
Hi I moved house last week and have inherited British Gas at the new property. Their prices are very high and they want to lock me into a contract with a penalty of £30 each for gas and electricity if I change supplier. Can I just change to another supplier straight away without using British Gas, by using Uswitch?

The trouble with third party verification
As most people now know, the initial reading that you give to a new supplier goes thru a verification process before being supplied to the old (losing) Utility Co. In this process the reading may be altered BUT BOTH parties should use the same reading. However, recently on two separate occasions, I have had problems…

British Gas Hidden Charges
Don't move to a new tariff before the old one ends, because you'll be put onto the new tariff on the day that you ask for the move, and you'll be charged the new tariff rate before the old one ends. Read my letter to BG below: "On or around 5 March 2019, I telephoned British Gas (BG) to arrange to transfer to a new…

I indulged in a hot tub in the July and consumption went up to 14 to 18 units a day. However in October it spiked to 40 odd units a day.
