Making a formal complaint to EDF about smart meter position
I've had electric and gas smart meters fitted by EDF to benefit from a fixed price deal and avoid future meter reading hassle. The gas meter is at the back of the cupboard and because it has an LCD display it now can't be manually read as you can't read the numbers from an angle. Whilst the meter readings are now…

Does Ovo use CashOut?
This morning I received two text messages from CashOut. One for a £100 voucher and the other for a £50 voucher. I’d never heard of CashOut before, but it seems to be a legit company.

Incorrect Electricity Meter Readings
I recently had my electricity meter switched to a smart meter and the engineer mixed up the peak & off peak readings and I was charged £425 instead of £149. I believe I should have a refund of £276. However Octopus only refunded me £149 because they said I had previous credits on my account. These credits relate to when…

Challenging an EPC
Had an EPC done in 2004 rated 50 points. House is on market so just had a new one done - rated 44 points, this is despite us adding cavity wall insulation to c. 25% of the wall area and installing a big solar set up 2 years ago which means we are now net exporters of c.1500 kWh per annum and our oil consumption has fallen…

Better to fix for 12 or 24 months?
