Engie threatens to isolate my service

A few months ago, without our approval (leaseholder) Management replace EON with a new company called Engie. Right from the…

Opt out of DD but pay by prepay instead?
Can someone tell me if this is an option... Is it possible to opt out of paying for electricity by DD & going to a pre-payment instead? that way I'd feel more in control of what I can afford to spend. It's the only way I can find to take back control! Thank you!

Standing charge recover
Martin recently explained why standing charges on electricity increased to cover the cost of bailing out energy companies that folded. Is it therefore reasonable to assume that once that money has been recovered, that standing charges will revert to their original level. Or is that just a dream?

Shell Energy given me a new DD amount for next 8 mths
Because from 1st April I've been put on their Flexible 7 tariff. This new DD involves a 140% increase on what I've been paying( but I have had 2 months on the Flexible 6 tariff after my Fix finished and I carried on at the old DD figure as I was slightly in credit anyway). . Shell Energy say the 8 mths will take me to the…

Are energy companies acting dishonestly?
I have experienced and been told by friends and family that when they contact their energy suppliers they are actively pushing their very expensive fixed rate deals with little to no mention of the standard variable tariff that is price capped.
