When Octopus reply to emails and miss the point - is it a Bot reply?
I'm just wondering about this and will be interested in any of your experiences or knowledge. When Octopus reply to an email and their reply is incomplete, or some questions have been ignored, is it possible that a human has not replied? Is there any way of knowing? It is disappointing when they reply: "Thank you for…

Gas & electric from same supplier but on single fuel tariffs

Credit Balances Eon
Why is it so hard to get refunds for credit balances promptly? Eon make you wait 10 working days and then put up your monthly DD. This is just wrong and the regulators should stop energy companies from doing this.

Has anyone had any experience with these, or similar products? I've noticed that it's cold around one of my back doors.

Econ 7 washing machine and noise
This might be one for another thread but I am looking to replace the washing machine, mainly as it is very noisy and the floor shakes when it's on. Being on the top floor, and only using the machine overnight on Econ 7 times, this is a big deal. At the same time, I don't want one that will calculate the load as I need to…

is 19mb. Previous boiler…

Octopus Energy have made my day!
I have a minor issue with my heat pump and in my discussions with them they found out I have been unwell for the last week or so. I got home from work today to find this waiting for me. I am lost for words, an unbelievably kind and thoughtful thing to do.

Scottish Power
I complained to Scottish Power, but they just refuse to deal with my complaint, or even acknowledge it. Because they won't deal with it, they keep phoning me up to nag me, which is starting to get annoying. Is there any way I can force them to deal with it, or do I just have to wait until 8 weeks have elapsed and take it…
