Refund of British Gas homecare agreement - which ombudsman?
Hi, I am owed a refund from British Gas for a duplicate HomeCare Agreement. The refund was agreed in 2016 (yes, 2016), and I have never received it. I have a refund ID from them, and it has apparently been issued once, but they admittedly sent it to my old address, so back into the system. Each time I call, after going…

My electricity price fix with SP ends in June 2022. On the SP website they are offering me only one- and two-year fixes for when my current price fix ends. However, Martin Lewis is suggesting it probably is best not to fix if the cost will be more than 18–20% more than the April price hike cost.Does anyone know if SP have…

It is REALLY annoying not to be able to compare (or, how good is my fix?)
Why is it that energy prices have become such well guarded secret? Why can't I find out what companies are charging with their SV to have an idea whether I am/will be paying too much with my fix? Now all you can find is sky high fixes, but the ordinary "standard variable tariff" is not known. For example, the standing…

Don't switch? But what if you've recently bought an electric vehicle (EV)?
Hi, While I'm aware switching is generally a bad idea right now. I don't believe it's as clean-cut for those who have recently purchased an electric vehicle (EV). As usual I'm sure the answer is it depends. The short version of our situation is currently we use around 4200 kWh annually. I'm expecting this to increase by…

E.on taking my m3 readings as ft3 - higher bills
Hoping someone can advise on this. I submit my meter readings for gas monthly in m3 units. E.on on the bill appear to be running these as ft3 united and converting them to m3 causing an increased cost in my bills. Below is what I believe to be correct (every chance I could be wrong!) vs their calculations. Usage: 138 m3…
