Lack of response from GivEnergy
I am looking for anyone who has had dealings with GivEnergy in the hope that they could advise me what action I can take. So far I have contacted Citizen's Advise and Ofgem and created a complaint with Resolver. In April we were approached by the company who fitted our solar system, Solar Armour. They suggested that we…

Scottish Power bill high (not first post about this)
Ok so a few months back I wrote about how SP were billing me around £85 a month for just electricity, gas is with another company (and rarely used) At the time I had dual meters but SP refused to change them to single meter saying as I had gas heating I wasn't affected by the teleswitch removal. Then suddenly in July they…

Do you have to be on the electricity grid customer?
I'm in the midst of other energy research at the moment, when this thought came to me. I am a customer of the electricity company, but do I have to be? If I can provide all my electrical needs, can I tell them to disconnect the service? If it is possible, could I just have an electricity supply for 3 months? Is there…

Frozen smart meter
We have smart meters from Scottish power. Both electric and gas are pay as you go. Over 2 years ago our electric meter reading froze, and has not recorded any increase in our usage since, so we have essentially been getting free electricity since then. It was reported at the time, and they said they would send an engineer…

uSwitch power hours
First I would like to say 👋as I'm new to this forum. Has anyone done the uSwitch 5 hours weekend free electric before? I've signed up for it but notice that if you are already opted in to a similar one with your energy company you have to opt out of that because you are automatically registered with uSwitch and can't be in…

E.On Next compensation
I've had a saga with E.On Next where they suddenly tried to back-bill me for £9,000 that they claimed was due to a prior adjustment going back to 2021. Now they've conceded they were wrong and we're haggling over compensation. After telling me I owed them £9k, they said they were putting my monthly direct debit up to over…

Octopus intelligence go tariff issues
Hi Ive been on this tariff for 3 months now and everything was going well. My hypervolt charger was connected to octopus and I was getting plenty of off peak rate and using around 850-1000kwh electricity in total a month as I do fair bit of driving. Don't have solar panels, battery unit or heat pumps. Then as of yesterday…

EON next drive smart V5.2 tariff
As my current supplier, Tomato energy, is on its last leg, I figured that the above tariff is my next best option. Iam confused about the smart charging. I understand that you can charge your EV during peak time at off peak rate (only EV, not appliances) but is that anytime during the day? I leave the house at 7 am and…

Can i take over a deceased persons E-on bill?
Sorry for keeping this short and somewhat blunt. I'm struggling. My mother has sadly just passed away and has/is leaving the house to me. However, it turns out she has 2k in debt on her E-on energy. I am scared they will say I have to sell the house to pay for it. I stupidly didn't put my name on the bill but have lived…

Intelligent Octopus Go - EV Charging Schedules good, but being charged at peak rate
Hi. I'm on 3-phase supply so it's taken me a while to get a smart meter installed at home, in fact I gave up on British Gas (who kept sending single phase engineers) and moved to Octopus who sorted it quickly. It's a Kaifa meter which I've read means the Octopus Home Mini won't work, so no live readings but I can see usage…
