Energy bills
The advice from Martin today is it might make sense to lock in a fixed energy deal at +30% or even +35% if you can get it. I just looked and I use 30% of my annual energy JUN-SEP and 70% during the other 8 months. On energy prices alone it'd cost me more to move at the available +35% than stay on variable unless the cap…

PFP to British Gas Meter Readings unable to change
Hi guys, I was unfortunate to switch to PFP Energy in Sep 2021 and just 2 days later they went bust, although I never found this out until 2 weeks later. I was advised to give a meter reading the day before the switch to British Gas which I did. Only now in May 2022 has British Gas set up my account and it is incorrect.…
