Help please; SSE energy account never moved to OVO and I’ve not had an energy bill in over 2 years.

Ovo Direct Debit hike (They tried)
Every 3 months Ovo sends me an email saying they are going to massively increase my Direct Debit. Every 3 months I ring them up and after arguing with them I get them to set my Direct Debit amount to what I want it to be according to my budget. For years I've run a spreadsheet of Income & Expenditure so I know exactly…

Cavity wall insulation and EPCs
I recently moved house into an end of terrace built in 1986, standard brick construction. The EPC said it needed to have cavity wall insulation. I had someone come and check it.

Just noticed that a little over 3 weeks ago my Octopus fixed deal ended & I went on to one of their flexible deals. So time to start looking whether it's 1) best to stay with them or move and 2) stay flexible or fixed. While I was on the fixed deal I had them install a smart meter.

Poor advice from MSE...
