Deemed Tariff?

The last correspondence I had from them is October where they increased my bill from £74 to £94 and it tells me I am on the Welcome GNE V1 tariff. Now, when I log into my account it shows my tariff details (with a disclaimer saying they are the…

100% Rise from EDF
I normally pay £80 for the gas and electric use. They want to up it to £160 per month? I thought increases were capped at around 52%? Checking other tariffs the cheapest is £192 + Before I challenge EDF your thoughts and expertise please.

Is over-stating actual gas or electric meter readings against the law - yes or no
It has been suggested on another forum that this is fraud and in the same category as insurance / mortgage fraud but I am struggling to find laws regarding this specific situation. In the T&Cs of the energy supplier there is nothing written about this. Edit : I am on an SVR so have no interest one way or another, I am just…

Fixed tariff ending - no offer of another fixed tariff by supplier
I know there is an energy crisis on, but I've read about other people being contacted by their supplier within a few weeks of their fixed tariff ending and being offered another fixed deal.

EDF Threat re Smart Meter Installation
Currently on a 2 year "Simply Online" tariff which expires on 31 December 2022. Was quite relaxed about this in the context of current tariff increases etc and prepared to bite the bullet from 1 January 2023.

Free insulation
Hi all are there any schemes that do free loft insulation I know they offer boilers and cavity wall but it’s proving difficult to find a loft one. We have foil type insulation sheets across the roof but there looks to be nothing behind it in terms of any other insulation, so I’m guessing that’s not great. Thanks all
