GAS PREPAYMENT
I have a gas pre-payment meter. If I top up hypothetically £500 today does this mean i have built a "hedge" against price rises in the near future. Will my gas price remain a t todays price until the £ 500 credit is exhausted? If not why not?

Landlord - October £200 Energy Loan
Hi, Hypothetical scenario which may potentially occur for some landlords... If you have a property vacant when the £200 credit hits your bill, and then subsequently a tenant is found - how would this work? Would the landlord have to keep an account open and return the £200 over several years? my understanding is a property…

Afetr PFP fail, 'adopted' by BG, getting threatening letters but I haven't agreed a contract.
BG are shady as kcuf - they sent threatening emails insisting that adopted customers move to a smart meter, now they are sending bills and threatening emails. I have never liked them, overpreiced tat peddlars. I would never have chosen them as a utility provided.But after PFP failed, I wasn't given a choice, I just got…

So now OFGEM has said how much we are ALL paying for failed energy firms
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60257448 So £68 or nearly 10% of the increase that every one of us is now facing is to cover the cost of the failed energy firms. So while the shareholders of the likes of AVRO et al continue to live in their mansions built off their ill gotten (and sometime illicit) gains, every one of…

When was the last time someone came to read your meters?
I honesty can't remember when I last had someone physically come out and check my meters? I vaguely recall that energy companies used to have to do this a safety check and would take readings at the same time. It might be 10 years or more since I actually had someone come round and do this though.

Previously my supplier (Ovo - who are now linked to SSE) could tell me the hours of my Econ 7, so I could budget. They actually had I think 2 hours of low, then 2 hours of high, then the remaining 5…
