I thought they only stopped switches if the balance was over like £500 or in the hundreds. Not £40! That seems abit out of…

Greenstar stressing me out!!! Taking £1500 out of my account!!!
Sorry this is probably quite a boring story, but I really want to warn others about Greenstar energy (part of Hudson energy). I'm having an absolutely terrible time with them.

Energy Club Cashback confusion
It's probably me but I find the Energy Club cashback in the search criteria confusing. For instance, Avro dual fixed 12 months (no cashback) shows £63 month Then Avro dual fixed 12 months (with £25 cashback) shows £64 month. My question is, does the £64 a month figure show including the cashback or do I deduct the £25 from…

Claiming Back Credit Balance on Igloo Account
I've just checked my Igloo account, to see that we are in credit by just over £103! I'd like to have that returned to us as our current DD more than covers the monthly bill, and I can't see any good reason why Igloo would need to hang on to that amount of money. Account has never been in debit. I've contacted Igloo, and am…
