British Gas and renewal of a EV tarrif
OK, I apologise if there is a thread on this, but I cant see one. Over the past 3 months, since Oct I have to call British Gas to reduce my Direct Debit. I have now found out why they are doubling my DD without my permission each month. They constantly look at DD amounts to help customers( this I understand) but they use…

Fix Tariff Exit fees -
It used to be that if you changed from a fixed tariff to a variable tariff, within the same supplier, the suplier would zero the exit fees. I have just had a customer service issue with BG, and have threaten to leave, however to do so they Fixed tariff still applies the exit fee unless moving to another fixed tariff with…

Going all electric?
OK, so hubby sometimes has strange ideas... the latest being that we should not replace our aging boiler (still has some life left but not much I'm afraid) but switch to full electric in a couple of years time (so not next winter), by dismantling the old central heating radiators and putting in fixed electric radiators (or…

What on earth is going on with my electricity? Should I go to the Ombudsman?
Hi everyone. I was with Bulb before, but then Bulb was taken over by Octopus in 2023. By the way I have E7 storage heaters which were installed when the property was built, in 1999. These operate under the E7 system so I've always had a dual tariff. So Octopus have been weird about my bills, showing large credits but then…

Have you benefitted from installing a SP Gateway that you didn't anticipate?
Hi I received a quote for a Solar Panel that included a backup* gateway in case of a power cut to the whole house. I lived 10mins walk from my house for 6 years, and about 1.25 year in my house, not experienced one (it could have happened while I'm out, but no sign of any!). So, I contacted my electricity network operator…

Help Needed: EDF Gas Billing Dispute – Charges Don’t Match Usage
Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here can offer advice or share similar experiences. I’ve been in an ongoing dispute with EDF regarding my gas bills, and I’m at a loss about what to do next.

Gas Bill dilemma
I have a moral dilemma and I don't know what to do. I was once supplied with gas and electricity from Co-op energy on a duel fuel tariff. When octopus energy bought co-op energy my account automatically switched over to them. Or so I thought. I continued to pay by D/D every month and thought nothing of it. I've not needed…

How do you change from one Octopus fixed tariff to another Octopus fixed tariff?
My mum is currently on fixed rate tariff with Octopus (due to end in May with no exit fees), but she would like to switch to the 16 month fixed rate loyalty tariff that Octopus are now offering and she thought she would be able to do this, since there are no exit fees on her current tariff. Using the Octopus app, she…

Third Party which can intervene and sort out Energy Bills
We are a community village hall and classed as a business customer. We have different suppliers for Gas and Electricity as this worked out cheaper(and safer as can be seen below) than dual fuel. We are currently with SSE whose customer service is horrendous and have unresolved billing issues going back nearly three years.…

Uswitch 25 hours free electricity
I’ve seen a promotion advertised by Uswitch offering 25 hours free electricity if you connect your smart meter. Has anyone taken part in this before as I think they may have ran something similar at Christmas? I assume the catch is they collect and sell your usage data to target you with tailored tariffs?…
