Lowest standing charges?
My home is well-insulated and I can bear a little cold. Is there any provider with low standing charges so that I can save money by using less energy? (I pay for gas and electricity by monthly direct debit.)
Help please with energy process…
Sorry for being a bit vague but I am sure Martin sent out a communiqué which detailed the way to deal with energy companies and it ultimately needed with the ombudsman…it talked a lot about the energy company being expected to reply to the customer within 28 days and went on to detail the cost to the energy company (£500 I…

Electricity and Gas Standing Charges

I am considering purchasing 6 months of electricity using the meter key but I will only do that if my electricity rates do not increase in October. Prior to the last major price rise the meter tariffs remained the same until I purchased electricity…
