New MSE Octopus tariff that is nowhere to be found on the page?
Hi all, I am due to either renew or switch my tariff. I am currently with Octopus on their Octopus 12M Fixed October 2024 v2 tariff. I am on a day/night tariff, but have asked for a single-rate option as it seems that I am actually wasting money on the day/night one. The quote that Octopus have offered to me was under…

NO British Gas Standing Charge on an all electric flat!
Some years ago my mother lived alone in an all electric flat which once I found out that she was still paying British Gas for the standing charge on her gas meter I intervened and informed British Gas that I had Power of Attorney and would no longer be paying British Gas for their standing charge. They insisted that by law…

Energy club BG tariff and existing BG customer
I'm already a BG customer but thought I'd take advantage of the MSE group tariff.However the energy club's switch form asks for details such as direct debit which leads me to believe a new account may be set-up with the provider.I've good reason to be cautious after a bad experience with BG customer service last year…

Energy contract renewal cooling off period
I have a small business which I opened 12 months ago with a new energy contact for the same period with a zero standing charge. As per the contract, I had a smart meter installed. The engineer looked at the second meter on the wall which he said was not wired to a supply and removed it from the wall and left a label on it…

Cheap Energy Club - Deals Not Showing
I've been a member of the MSE weekly email for ages and signed up for the Cheap Engery Club tonight with the same email address. I've tried to click through the link for the Collective British Gas deal but it isn't showing on the Cheap Energy Club. In fact none of the featured deals from this week are. Any ideas why this…

British Gas not showing in tariff results
a new British Gas tariff blagged by MSE is cheaper than anything - except it doesn't appear in the results listing. Why? How, actually, can I get it? the tariffs listed as "current" do not include mine - I just checked with BG. Anyone else going round in such a silly circle?

MSE British Gas deal
After seeing your British Gas cheapest since 2021 deal, I rushed to change my deal which is Fixed Tariff 18M with British Gas. I checked to see that my estimated useage was the same on the British Gas website and the Cheap Energy website. The Cheap Energy website says I will save £179 incl £20 cashback. The British Gas…

Already with Octopus, how do I claim the MSE deal?
I'm looking to jump onto the new Money Saving Octopus tariff, but I'm already with Octopus Energy. When I click switch it wants direct debit details, which feels wrong. Any advice?

Energy Direct Debit - Predicted to be in plus at FYE but they want to increase
Hi OVO customer here. I have a direct debit, I'm currently in a positive account balance by a few hundred pounds - but I realise that will reduce over winter. That is not the issue. OVO predict from my usage and current DD (£118) that I will finish in a plus at 31st March next year (i.e. after the winter). They say they…

British Gas Double Billing VAT
Hello, Apologies if this has been posted before, I did search the forum and I couldn't see it anywhere. I recently moved back to the UK and resumed gas and electricity accounts with British Gas. If, like me, you don't have a smart meter and are a bit slow submitting meter readings each month, you will have an estimated…

Octopus Tracker
I just wondered about people's experiences with this tariff and whether they feel they are winners or losers. I got a quote from them yesterday, and I have to say I find the numbers highly misleading. The figures are very attractive, beating even the good fixed rate tariff I got from Avro, but presumably based on an…

MSE Big Switch tariffs not available
I cannot see any of the MSE Collective Switch tariffs in the results on Energy Club despite being a MSE subscriber and user of Energy Club for many years. I have tried just looking at gas deals as well as dual fuel but I only see a limited selection of tariffs. Anyone else experienced this?

Cheap Energy Club – Missing/incorrect address when entering postcode
Hi all, I’ve used the Cheap Energy Club for years without issue, but I’ve just come across a technical fault with the address lookup. When I enter my postcode, one flat in my building (mine) doesn’t appear in the results. Instead, the system shows a completely different property further up the street with another postcode.…
