Not quite understanding the Fuse fix
Before I moved to Fuse I was with Octopus. When I was on a fixed deal with Octopus my monthly bill was the same each month. I paid a set amount & over the course I ended up building credit. Same with Shell when I was with them before Octopus. When it came time to lock in on a deal again, Fuse were the fit for me - so I…

Home Energy variable vs Octopus fixed
so I’ve read through Martin’s advice and any threads but still struggling to figure out what to do. We are on the Home Energy variable tariff which is a discounted vs price cap tariff. Currently averaging around 10% below cap. With July price cap looming is it worth sticking with it (hoping that even if price goes up it…

Paying back WFA £200
Strange question, I believe £17 a month was mentioned as being reclaimed for the WFA £200 for earnings above £35,000 for this year. How is that to be achieved? I have private pensions as well as State Pension and I also work two days a week, currently 16 hours. I pay tax on my monthly income and the private pensions. After…

Tomato Energy Credit Scam
In July 2024 I left Tomato Energy to a new supplier, however I had a credit balance with them of £145. I wrote/complained to them but it took until October 2024 to get them to agree to credit my WattsApp on line account and issue a final bill, which they did. What they did not do is credit my Bank account. A month later…

Hi, today I received a bill for January which had charges from 2022 included. These charges were reversed, however it seems very odd. Are E.on trying to manipulate their 2022 figures somehow? Has anyone else had this?

Opinion needed on failed supplier switch compensation.
So situation as follows. No welcome message on meter or IHD, when it usually shows on a switch. New supplier has admitted verbally and in writing problems their side, but not in wording that says switch is failed, in their words its just a meter communication error. Meter is actually communicating, Bright service still…

SEG Tariffs for Solar
Hi, We had solar panels installed a couple of months ago and have been trying to change our tariff to Octopus Intelligent Flux. However they have suspended this tariff for new joiners because of the volatility in the energy market (I'm guessing the Iran conflict). Much as I'd like to stay with Octopus, does anyone know of…

Fix ends in November, should we consider changing now?
I’m on a good rate fix which ends in November. Given there might be no good rates available then, should we consider switching now and tying in a fix till next May and suck up exit costs, or wait it out and hope there will be some decent deals in October? Thanks

Not So Smart Energy Provider
It all began in the summer of 2020. EDF sent an engineer to install smart meters, early pandemic, socially distant and facemask compliant. The installation was far from smart. No readings transmitted, IHD seemingly working, but it could have just been in demo mode. No progress for a year, ombudsman investigated. Paltry £25…

Price increase in July? Potential ceasefire?
It seems like there maybe finally a ceasefire with the iran war. I was on 12m fixed November 2025 v1 with octopus energy.
