Rates for off peak have come down to £5.49 for IGO from the 1st April. Does anyone know if this £5.49 rate would also apply to charging car during the day or would that still be charged at the 9p rate?

Unable to submit meter reading to British Gas
I've repeatedly tried to submit today's reading. At first I could not log in - "something went wrong" message keeps flashing up, not even for long enough to take a screenshot. Then log in but get the "something went wrong" message again. The home page says to send a meter reading by 15 April. However, I can't remember…

Back billing - but in credit so Energy Ombudsman found in favour of supplier
Can anyone help with this please? We had a bill shock in September 2025 when our energy supplier sent us our statement and had taken an extra £400 for energy used in March 2023 that they had not charged us for through their own error. (We had provided meter readings). Over the years we had maintained the suggested direct…

Petition
If not allowed, please delete - I don’t think this is political, even though it is something that I think at least needs a debate in Parliament. As this has been highlighted on the TV and by Martin Lewis himself, I think it should be given some legs. If Martin wants to raise awareness of this it would be great, but I am…

To move to flexible or to fix?
My loyal octopus tariff ends on April 2nd. I had an email telling me I would be moving to the flexible rate which at the moment works out cheaper than their other fixed rates.

Opinion needed on failed supplier switch compensation.
So situation as follows. No welcome message on meter or IHD, when it usually shows on a switch. New supplier has admitted verbally and in writing problems their side, but not in wording that says switch is failed, in their words its just a meter communication error. Meter is actually communicating, Bright service still…

Smart Meter Monitor Replacement
My parents are on the Priority Register with British Gas, their very old smart meter monitor is broken (wear and tear) and I was advised that all I needed to do was call and request a replacement. Two weeks later and I am still having difficulty succeeding with this request. They obviously like to monitor their usage.…

Uswitch 25 hours free electricity
I’ve seen a promotion advertised by Uswitch offering 25 hours free electricity if you connect your smart meter. Has anyone taken part in this before as I think they may have ran something similar at Christmas? I assume the catch is they collect and sell your usage data to target you with tailored tariffs?…
