Attempted Energy Swap
2 to 3 months ago I completed the process of applying to swap my Electric & Gas tariff via the MSE Cheap Energy Club. Time passed I heard nothing, but as I was only changing tariff but staying with British Gas, I thought it must have sailed through. Unfortunately I heard on 31st May from MSE Cheap Energy Club that, British…

We always send monthly readings for both gas and electric and pay by DD monthly. we were in credit before this issue. They then said our meter is at the end of its lifespan so we must get it changed. We were…

Using comparison sites to switch to existing energy provider
I am currently with British Gas on the price cap. The switch tariffs on offer through the customer portal are rubbish. However on comparison sites they often put up much more competitive switch deals which seem to allow switches from new and existing customers. When completing switch forms, it is all very much worded…

Octopus promises but does it deliver.
Bearing in mind today's 7/6/26 plunge pricing is from 0500 until 1600 not much for those not on agile …. they sent this beginning May , not been any meaningful saving sessions either.

July Energy Increases are enormous.
Just had an email from B Gas saying energy costs are going up soon. Looking at the increase in my projected annual bill this is going up by 27% ! Analysing this, the gas is the dominating factor with an increase of 17% in the unit rate with electricity unit cost only going up by 6% ! The standing charges are hardly…

Guaranteed Standards of Performance Query
Hi - I wonder if anyone has any advice. I’m on prepayment meters for gas and electricity with EoN Next. Back in April, they contacted me to arrange to replace my old meters with smart meters.

Switch now (while in contract) or wait?
I am currently with Outfox Energy. For context I am paying 83/month (£997/yr) - no, I don't think I can cut down further… If I were on the price cap I would pay £1190 now and will pay £1350 from July. My contract ends at the end of August, but I could switch internally at no extra cost (I have done it countless times with…

Tariff ending & at a loss what to do.
I’m at a bit of a loss as to what the best next step is. I’m on Octopus Money Saving 10 month fixed which ends on 9 August. With the July cap I’m really most sure whether I should switch now or hold off and see if any deals come up. Switching would look like Fuse is my best option. My useage is 25491kw and 4549kw annually.…
