Smart meter billing errors - is this likely to be a widespread issue
I'm responsible for a remote house (electricity only) that had a forced SMETS2 meter installed to cope with the RTS retirement. After a couple of months, the steady bills, which were just for night storage heaters, leapt. Much trouble later, and the supplier (EON) claimed that a power failure had 'broken' the meter so that…

Unexpected Enormous Electricity Bill - British Gas
We have lived in our rented property for around a year and a half. When we moved in we asked for a smart meter to be fitted for the electricity and were told that we did have a smart meter, it was just an older version.

Switching one 12m Fix for another with Eon Next
Hi, My current Eon Next 12 month fix ends on 31 December 2025. As I'm within 50 days, I called them to switch to another 12m currently on offer which is slightly cheaper. They told me the switch would happen on 31 December 2025 rather than straight away. I questioned this and was then cut off. Does this seem right? If I…

Boiler broke down after British Gas service
Hi guys. I didn't find an existing thread for this, however, if there is one, please refer me to it.

When I did this week, the pressure on the boiler…

What annoys me is that I was on one of Tomato's Lifestyle tariffs paying 5p/kwh for 5 hours and 14p fo 4hours which I need…
