Green Energy Advice Bureau - Threatening Letter
I have had a threatening letter from PWW, the collections arm of Green Energy Advice Bureau. It is for an Administration Fee for a Gas and Electric contract that did not go "live" - mainly because the switching service that they offered was rejected by the gas/electric companies due to issues with dates of contracts…

Working away from home a lot - changing supplier stress
Since Christmas I am working away and only go home for about 4 days a month. Energy prices are rocketing and I am dreading my fix (with e.on) coming to an end on 17 June - even though I will hardly be using any energy, the standing charges seem high (and there are no companies any more without). I think the minimum I can…

British Gas charging unbelievable monthly price
I am being charged £248 a month for gas and electricity! I live in a 2 bed flat by myself with my Son staying 2 days a week. No gas except for the boiler and radiators which we use ever so sparingly, I even put layers of clothing on to stay warm! Cancelled my direct debit and I am wondering what company I should go with?…

Making SMETS1 smart .... but when?
I've been considering switching gas and electricity suppliers recently but it's always awkward having SMETS1 meters. A few potential suppliers have mentioned that SMETS1 "might" be readable by them "soon" but it's all very vague. I know there was a plan a while back to get all SMETS1 treated the same as SMETS2 (by adding…

Smart Meter Display - eon - displaying incorrect info - blaming DCC
So I always leave my display showing the cost per month so far , dual fuel on my smart dials to keep a track on what our energy is costing, a couple of weeks ago it reset itself from displaying £40odd for the month so far to £10odd. Just noticed the change the following morning. Tried to reboot it a few times but still…

British Gas are not my supplier but are sending me bills
Hi, we moved in to our new property in February. From day 1 we had Octopus energy supplying our gas and electricity and have been paying them monthly. We have received 2 bills since from British Gas saying that we owe them money. I haven’t had an account ever with British Gas, so not sure why they have our name and address…

Bogus gas bills
I just received and estimated quarterly gas bill from SSE for £2187.72. My last quarterly bill was only £154 so why is it estimated when I’m on a smart meter and why so high? Has anyone else had similar bills?

Unvented Cylinder Questions
Hi All, I have a few questions about how an Unvented Cylinder works. I'm replacing my boilermate thermal store with a Unvented Cylinder and replacing my boiler (in the kitchen) also. 1) Does the system boiler deliver the water to the cylinder at the same temperature it will come out of the taps at? Or does the cylinder…

Variable tarriff big price difference, is it worth the hassle?
My fixed is nearing the end I had electricity at 12.9p kwh, I am quite a big electricity user so standing charge and gas are secondary considerations. All the fixed quotes I have found so far are more like 16p kwh, but some of the variables like from PFP are still around 12p/13p. I have been on fixed as long as I can…

Old Utilita refund - what would you do?
I was an Eversmart customer until Sept 2019, when its customer base was taken over by Utilita Energy. I then moved to Breeze in October the same year. (yes, I know!)

For how long after my current tariff end date can I keep the same rate...
I think that I have seen the answer to this somewhere in another thread but have not been able to find it again at the moment. In short, I am trying to extend my (cheaper) current rates for as long as is possible! My current tariff (Avro - Simple and mPower12M) ends next month on the 30th June. Currently, any new…

Wayleave Payments
I have today received two very similar letters saying that I am entitled to wayleave payments as underground electricity lines cross my property. Is this a coincidence or has some legislation been brought in or changed? The letter from PCC Ltd says that we are entitled to £150 for a 15 year agreement. They charge no fee,…

Smart Meter (SMETS2) ZigBee Range Extending Inside the Home
Hi All, I've just had a SMETS2 smart meter fitted by Lowri Beck on behalf of Avro Energy (although that's not necessarily relevant), and I have a question about increasing the range between the smart meter and the internal usage display. I don't have a problem with the smart meter connecting back to the energy provider,…

Faulty Meter plus wrong meter readings
Hi I recently moved into a flat and took meter readings when I moved in and let the energy company (SSE) know when I set up my account with them (they had already been supplying the property). About a month later I received a (rather large) bill from them, using entirely estimated readings that are vastly different to what…

Opus energy - An absolute nightmare!
So my grandfather (who has recently been diagnosed with dementia) switched/was coerced into joining Opus energy in September. Before that he was with Bulb and his average monthly bill for the previous 2 years was around £350 (there's no gas and it's quite a large inefficient property!). So then he switched to Opus energy…
