Enquiring on behalf of a friend splitting with their partner and moving to an electric only flat with E7 metering in a month or so. Current occupier is paying £30pcm to BG and comparision sites say Bulb should be about £6 pcm less so looks favourable for my friend. I know they take DD up front and this is OK Not sure if…

Bulb Energy - beware
If you are persuaded to switch to Bulb Energy because of substantial savings, please beware. Bulb requre you to pay for your energy IN ADVANCE, so in terms of cash flow you may be worse off.

Immergas boilers
Opinions please? I had my boiler changed just last week and this was not a company that I came across. However it appears they have been offering "special deals" to "selected few" customers. The suspicious bit is that pensioners are targeted, and they are required to sign right away :think:

new build. Meter position. Smart meter
The gas meter position means that I, in my 8th decade, have to kneel on the soil slightly downhill to read it. It looks better there than white boxes on a wall. My query is about smart meters and btw I was totally against but have come around wrt the readings being automatic to providers. There is a smart meter, was there…

I’m having a major mental breakdown, please help.
So this thing is seriously bothering me now and making me depressed because I just can’t seem to get it. It’s about the monthly direct debit payments. They say you pay estimates how does that work? Let’s say I switch the supplier on 01/01/2020 and give them my previous year’s usage (from 01/01/2019 to 31/12/2019) and they…

Changing tariff with same supplier
I asked to change to a different variable tariff (no exit fees or fixed term) with the same supplier. I thought as I wasn't changing supplier the change would be immediate, but I was told I would have to stay on the more expensive tariff for another two weeks until my usual billing date. Does anyone know if this is right?…

Starting Readings - Electricity
Hello all, I recently moved into my property and it's been a nightmare with the electricity. I found out who the supplier was, and after telling them (Spark) about 10 times - they finally agreed that they were supplying my property.

~6 year old utilities bill
I've received a gas and electric bill that covers a period from 2013 to 2014 and a notification that it will be taken to court. So part of the bill is older than 6 years, and part isn't. It's my understanding that bills older than 6 years cannot be enforced. Where do I stand in this instance?

The current supplier is Scottish Power. An electrician came out yesterday and said the electrics are very old - running on…
