Warning about British Gas
I recently took BG to the ombudsman over my gas meter as I was getting nowhere with their customer services. I went to read the gas meter back at the beginning of January but it was blank and needs replacing. Also, they have moved me to a new system where they've input estimated figures and ignored all of my actual…

OVO power move becoming entries into prize draws rather than real bill discounts.
Quite disappointed as it was quite easy to hit the power move targets with an electric car, now all it gives you is entries into monthly prize draws. The target is to reduce peak usage (defined as Mon- Fri 5-7pm) to below 15% of total energy usage.

WHD Changes
Hope someone can help with this. My dad got the WHD paid by EON Next in March 2024, he didn’t get a letter to inform him this was being paid last year, so we assumed it wasn’t due to him being ineligible, so it was a nice surprise to get the payment! Cue this year, no letter again so called the WHD helpline to be told he’s…

Intelligent Octopus - but what about gas?
Hi, We're looking at switching to Octopus as new customers, and then to Intelligent Octopus, for their cheaper night rates as we recently bought an EV. However, this is an electricity only tariff. Do Octopus do solo gas tariffs to go with this, or do we need to find a different supplier for gas only? The Octopus website…

MSE Exclusive - Next Fixed 16m V1 - Switched to wrong tariff
Hi, I have requested to switch to the E.ON Next - Next Fixed 16m V1 (already an Eon client, but on a tracker tariff) using MoneySavingExpert "Cheap energy club". However, Eon switched me to Next Fixed 16m V2 tariff, which is slightly less advantageous. Anyone else had the same issue? Thank you
