Standing Charges
Thinking of switching Gas & Elec from BG and would like advice on what are the advantages/disadvantages of Standing Charges. BGs Standing Charges are zero but the supplier I was thinking about switching to has Standing Charges of £138/Gas and £21/Elec. Still gives me a yearly save of just over £200 but I don't understand…

BG Paperless Billing? no replies to emails?
Hi Am I naive in thinking that BG are having a problem lately or have they always been this bad in dealing with customers? I am having a few problems and my emails are being ignored. To top it off, the website is now showing that I am NOT signed up to paperless billing when I am (obviously this is a worry as no paperless…

More economical to have heating switched on all time?
I have a gas boiler with a remote thermostat control on my landing. I used to have my heating set so that it would be heating the house from 5:30 - 8:30am and then 16:30 - 21:30 pm. As I had the remote thermostat set to high (at 22 degrees) the heating would be on constant as the heat in the house would take forever to get…

Scottish Power ripping me off?
In December I had a cold call off representatives from Scottish Power on my doorstep with whom I changed over my gas supplier as I was already with the same company for my Electricity. As a side note to this we are pre-payment customers for both Gas and Electric. Beginning of January I received a letter about the Electric…

Bill Dispute in late 08 early 09 - Npower
Hi all I'll try to keep this to the point - in March 2009 we moved out of our rented 1 bedroom flat. We had the last electricity bills around November, then a final one in February. The November one was for 3 months, and came to about £480. The last one was for 30 days and came to £180. The readings were actuals not…

£3,000+ Electricity Charges
:eek: We had a new meter installed in 2007, bills we received after that seemed much lower than before - we were previously on economy 7, but were advised that this was unwise as we have gas heating, cooker and water. Anyway, they came to read it about a year ago and afterwards rang up concerned that the reading was…

High gas bill in rental accommodation - Crappy Boiler
We've thankfully just moved out of the worst house we've ever rented. It had next to no insulation and the boiler's 20 years old with no thermostat, it's either on or off. The final bill for the gas is around £400 and that covers from 29th November to 8th Feb. This seems extremely high and had a heart attack when I saw the…

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…

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…
