Octopus to EDF advice
Hi All, I am on the Octopus 15M Fixed September 2024 v1 tariff, but checked the Energy Club options today and it says that a few are around the same amount cheaper. The MSE British Gas deal is one, but this EDF Simply Fixed Direct Aug26 is about the same - plus it has no exit fees and I think I can get £50 cashback via Top…

British Gas Deemed Contract Bill of 5 years
I purchased a small area of land next to a property that I
own. It had been unused for several
years, was very overgrown and contained a small derelict outbuilding. At the time of purchase I was unaware that
there was an electricity supply and as I did not require a supply did not look
into this any further. Fast forward…

Switch without customer's knowledge
I helped my neighbour when he decided to switch his gas supply to Eon. British Gas retentions phoned him the same day with an offer of a cash incentive to stay with them. They explained how he should cancel the switch, and we thought everything was OK, once he'd done that. He had a letter today saying that his meter…

Intelligent Octopus Go - Two Registers
From around 1 April 2025 it seems my Intelligent Octopus Go tariff has switched from recording on one register to recording on two registers. It looks like the second register has started recording overnight usage but not any EV charging that Intelligent Octopus Go switches to daytime. So far, there doesn't appear to be…

British Gas electricity end of contract refund?
My mother's house was sold at the end of March. British Gas supplied the electricity using an online account and paying monthly DD. They said there is a small refund of about £5. My recollection of the account was about £150 credit. No one was living there and I reduced the DD to £15 PCM for the last month as usage was so…

Is new MSE British Gas deal better than the one in March 2025?
I am so confused with all these price caps.

I tried googling to compare the tariffs but I can't find anywhere that actually shows the…
