British Gas - day and night electricity readings the wrong way round (Transposed readings)
Hi all I realised I have been submitting my day and night readings the wrong way round. I'm assuming since I moved into this property 11 years ago. I have always just copied how it has been entered previously (i.e. entered the current reading next to the similar looking previous reading thus showing a slight increase). 6…

Utility Warehouse - warning to any prospective new customers
I wanted to share this
as a warning to anyone thinking about switching to Utility Warehouse. Last month I switched

Octopus Not Paying Ombudsman Award
As of today Octopus have still not paid the sums directed by the Ombudsman decision of 11th March 2025. To be honest I think it's a misunderstanding rather than actual refusal. However it's been pointed out to them by the Ombudsman case handler at least once, and by me several times by email and by phone. Email is simply…

The current tariff I’m on is their Ensure Tracker Sep 25 which has a £25 exit fee for both fuels. This tariff has discounted standing charges…
