E.on NextDrive and SEG with EV Solar charging
I have solar panels with an eddi diverter and a zappi charger. As retired, use solar to heat hot water and to give 20miles EV each day allowing an afternoon trip. Comparing two options on E.on in table below using last four years solar and power data, the Next secure option gives a 60% increase and Next Drive 67% increase.…

Octopus and my Credit Score
Hi all, I was transferred to Octopus Enery when Avro ceased trading last year. I have since had a notification fro Credit Karma that my score had declined. I logged in to find out why and it is because Octopus Energy have set up a new account and are reporting payment history etc as though it is a credit account. I have…

Energy Ombudsman
How good are they? I've just made a complaint about Tomato Energy. I switched at the start of Sept 24 and so far have failed to provide Octopus the flow D86 so Octopus can't issue final bill that has over £400 of credit. The have also used the wrong reading when producing my first (and so far only) bill. I wasn't going to…

Octopus bill incorrect AGAIN
This is the fourth time this year octopus have "forgotten" to credit my bill with solar export. Every time, lots of apologies but they continue to repeat the mistake. I've worked in IT on utility billing systems for many years. This should not continue to happen, and if it's happening to me, it's happening to others. If…

Help with the MSE energy club switch cashback.
Hello everyone. I used the MSE energy club to switch to an EON next fixed tariff (EON Next Fixed 16m V1) back in January which came with MSE cashback. It tracked correctly on the mse site and stated it could see we were in a switch etc and to check back another time for progress on cashback. Now today when I login to my…

Energy switching date (E-On to Fuse)
Previously when switching suppliers, I’ve just arranged for it to happen ASAP. However, I’ve been on a great fixed term with E-On that runs to the 30th September this year. I’m doing the dance again now to see what reasonable fixes to jump on, and there is the Fuse Aug 18m v3 which suits me perfectly as a quite low fuel…

Energy switch time again - is this an error from Outfox? and any hot tips?
Currently with Outfox Energy and in that period where we can switch… Considering a 'collective' switch via another platform, but also potential to stay with OE, but seeing the Gas standing charge on their best tariff is ~double the other provider(s)…and thinking that can't be right, surely? Is anyone aware of any better…

Eon 'Fixed' vs 'Secure Fixed' Tariffs?
I'm new here, so please be gentle :-) I have searched, but couldn't find an answer - hopefully someone here can tell me. My current Eon tariff is about to end so I'm looking at options. If I were to stay with Eon, I'd probably go for the 'Next Fixed 12m v150' or the 'Next Secure Fixed 12m v88'. Eon's estimated monthly cost…

Can someone help me understand my daughters gas and electric bill
My daughter moved in to temporary accommodation and her support worker set up an account for gas and electric with OVO on the simpler energy tariff which is £98.71 a month but we don't know why she choose this tariff so would anyone know why she choose this tariff as £98.71 a month seems a lot. The first payment of £98.71…

Smart gas meter will never work. Has technology changed?
Got a decent deal with UW a few years ago, as long as i had smart meters fitted. I did some research and as my gas meter is in the basement and appx 20+ meters from the electric meter it wouldn't send the data. So they fitted the meter anyway, and sure enough it doesn't work. I'm looking for a new supplier, and a lot of…

EON Next MSE tarrif not showing on EOn site
Gday all I am with Eon next and my tariff ends soon MSE energy club shows "Next Fixed 24m Exclusive v3" - nearest Eon tariff on their site is " Next Fixed 24m v52" which is dearer. So my question is can I safely pick the tariff using the energy club? (don't want duplicate eon accounts and DDs) Thanks in anticipation

British Gas fiasco - any advice very welcome!
Hi all - I’m not sure whether we can actually do anything about this, but at least if not this might be a lesson for anyone else who is with British Gas! I had an email to say my fixed rate tariff ends early September, so out of curiosity I logged into my British Gas account to see how things were. I get an email every…

How to compare tariffs when you have SEG and EV??
We have been with Eon for a few years and were happy with their tariffs for SEG and EV overnight charging. Now they have more than halved the proposed SEG we are not! However, I can't seem to find an easy way to compare energy tariffs when you want to include having an EV (so cheaper overnight electricity pricing) and…

Just had Scottish Power salesmen round my door
I'm currently with Octopus and they got me to switch but I'm going to use the 14 day cooling off period to look into the prices. When I do the price comparison on this website Fuse comes out cheapest. Maybe I should switch to them instead?

Stop quarterly direct debit changes
To keep things simple I'm going to round all numbers here. I spend £600/ year on electricity including standing charges. That's £50/ month. Every year though my company contacts me at this time of year and says "we're reducing your bill to £20/ month" because you've used less energy over the summer. If do nothing... they…

British Gas Billing Nightmare
Back in May this year I noticed that my balance with BG was £3,500 in credit, intrigued I checked my May statement and it indeed said my electricity account was that much in credit. I checked the statement and noticed that the readings didn't look right, so we took a meter reading. In the meantime I noticed that the bill…

Blackouts coming soon?
Three-hour rolling blackouts can be implemented from this week. Too bad if you need to call 999 on your digital landline, it won't work. And relying on your mobile may give you a false sense of security - it may not work if your local mast is knocked out by the same outage and doesn’t have battery backup. Choose the time…
