I’m trying to understand my latest bill. For context, I signed up for a new fixed tariff in April and am billed monthly. My latest bill includes the note: “On this statement you will see reversed charges; this is where we have recalculated some of your previous charges.” All of the reversed charges relate to gas. Why are…

Hi, my father-in-law passed away in the middle of February and I took over paying the electricity direct debit at £50 per month. On March 2nd the meter was changed. Looking back through his bills I would say he hasn't had a "proper" bill since October 2024. he/we have been paying the direct debit each month and his balance…

My fixed tariff ran out at the wrong time, so I'm currently on my supplier's SVT which looks reasonable until the end of the year. However, when poring over Ofgem's tariff tables, I noticed a strange development. I don't do gas, so I'm only interested in the rates for electricity. Just to make sure it wasn't just living in…

Let's keep this as more of a theoretical topic for plug ins without battery storage. Basic assumptions - 800W-1000W set, with 4 years payback. What's the best electricity tarrif and approach you can think of to make the payback quicker? E7 tarrif to get the night rate lower - make most of it on cloudy days, run any heavy…

Hi, electric only house, storage heaters, small solar and battery set up. Edf e7 contract coming to and end which was c.12.5ppkwh night rate, with fixes coming in at 17-20% higher after the VAT reduction depending on a 12 or 24m fix. Anyone in the same situation, and thinking of just not fixing and seeing what happens or…

Good Morning Everyone. Earlier this year I had solar panels, inverter and a battery storage system installed on my house through a government grant scheme. I was on a one year fixed tariff with EON that had no provision for selling excess energy "back to the grid". That has now ended, but i am finding it very confusing…

As they were being mentioned on another thread I thought I would take a look and sure enough very cheap SC for electricity and discounted unit rate by the looks of it. Personally happy with Octopus and our Tracker/Agile seasonal hop-skip-jump but it's always nice to see if the upstairs companies are getting any traction…

I enter my 49 day exit charge free window next Saturday, my actual tariff ends on 13th Nov. I’m currently on a v good rate and even the best I can find on the comparison sites is going to drastically increase my rates - as with everyone. My question is do I fix again next weekend ahead of October, or do I wait till the…

Hi Forum, Just a quick post I am with Octopous Energy on the Tracker tariff and things are increasing a little. What are the options at the moment that people are going too? thanks

I'm with Fuse on Aug Single Rate Fixed (13m) v7 On Uswitch, the cheapest switch is still with Fuse August 2026 Fixed (18m) V15 Can I switch with Uswitch through TCB for £46 cashback? It does say on there, Want to stay with your existing supplier, and there's a switch button. Probably won't switch until closer to October…

I have been trying to log in to my account to change my existing tariff. The site has been crashing on me since last week. I entered the infamous chatbot which is worse than useless. Managed to get put in touch with a human who sent me a link to reset my account.Entered via the link and reset my password, Euereka, or so I…

Hello So after hearing about the possible 25% increase in the price cap in January I had a look at my current tariff and my electricity tariff ends on January 9th 2027 and my gas tariff ends November 9th 2027. Now seeing as my gas is okay until next November should I switch my electricity tariff now and pay a little bit…

Has anyone else signed up to the MSE Energy Club British Gas Exclusive Fixed Aug27 V4 tariff. I signed up to the tariff in June and all appeared to be well with the switch. I had an email from British Gas agreeing my tariff rates which were slightly different to what was advertised on the MSE energy club but they did say…

My mum had Elkatherm radiators installed by Heat Electric in 2024. After changing her internet provider we have had many issues with the e-comfort app. We finally got it connected but a week later the radiators are now showing as offline. Her neighbour is having the same issues after recently changing internet provider…

Hi everyone I am new to the forum. Just wondering if anyone has the British Gas Collective Tariff Feb27. Does anyone know if there will be another collective when it ends because the cost of gas and electric will be sky high by February 2027.

Hello, My OVO Fix ends next week but with the news today about the 24% increase in April, is it just best to refix on a 2 year with them or just go onto their standard price cap tariff? I'm a medium user for both gas & electric & pay monthly DD. I'm sure I read somewhere, it's hard to switch to another provider, as OVO…

I got an email from EDF telling me that my tariffs would increase on 1st October. No surprise there then. But when I click on the link to the NEW prices I get the above!

Hi All, I have stuck with Agile over the past year and a half and all in all, I think I have saved money. However, I have noticed over the past week or so that the cheapest rates have not gone below pkwH with the upper trend pushing above 50p which is really expensive. This will only increase in October and again in…

Still looking to fix your energy tariff? Well the reality is you've probably left it too late. But as that doesn't really help those currently on the search, and as MSE are not currently promoting any Cheap Energy Club exclusives (although ML is back on his ITV show Tuesday, so perhaps they'll launch something then?),…

I’d appreciate some opinions on whether I should stay on the standard variable tariff or take a fixed deal British Gas has offered. My situation: I live alone in an all‑electric house. I do have gas central heating, but only use it in winter from 6pm–9pm, and I use gas for 1 hour a day to heat water. I have an electric…
