Should I switch from Electricity KEY Meter
I have just moved into a new flat and the electricity is done on a key meter. My landlord is not happy about me switching this over to a credit meter but british gas told me it was our decision as there is nothing in the contract about not being able to change it. Would this actually save me money? We already have our gas…

Stymiedagain
Independent Gas Transporters (IGTs). Around £40.00 per year is added to my EDF gas bill because my home is supplied via an IGT. The MSE site states that (when applicable), EDF Energy only charge an IGT levy on "Gas-only" customers. However, EDF advise me that ALL customers who are supplied gas via IGTs are charged this…

Web 14 from npower
Currently with npower on their web 14 dual fuel thingy. We have been with them a year in march. Looked at switching and it can save us a fair chunk of change (£300). However we are due a price reduction after being with them a year, the problem is I can't find anywhere that tells me how much that will be?

Eon, 960 clubcard points or £28 what would you choose?

If I switch to Eon FixOnline5 the exact same gas and electricity will cost me £932 after discounts but no Tesco points:( because the discount is 24.5% rather than 22.2% So I will…

My question is whether this is a good deal fixing prices until 1 Mar 2011 based on the fact that British Gas have made their…

Huge utility bill sorted - here's what I did...
Hi Folks.... I posted a thread on here a couple of weeks back regarding a huge >£400 bill from NPower for an electric account which had built up to this amount since may '08.

Uswitch - Switching Free case of Wine 'NOT'
Hi, If I am in the wrong area please let me know where best to ask. Back in October I used Uswitch to change dual fuel energy suppliers, I would have used moneysupermarket but Uswitch were doing a deal for a free case of 12 bottles of wine.

Scottish power; disgrace!
I am foaming on behalf of my Mother, who on switching to a cheaper deal with E-ON, from Scottish Power, was then visited by a cold caller who seemed very plausible, explaining that the E-ON deal was misleading.......he said the Rates were cheaper with them and could keep us with Scottish power. When my mother said that…
