Rebel Energy - credit balance sent wrong amount to British Gas

Meerkat rewards & energy switching
First off - absolutely no idea where on this board to ask this so since it was an energy switch that started it, I'll ask on the energy forum. I switched to Fuse, not because of this offer but when I went via CtM it said it was eligible for Meerkat rewards. Switch has since completed - last week. I went in to my account to…

THEN, when they tell me its perfectly fine now, they switch me and charge £75 exit fee! I get why there is a fee...you make a decision that nothing better will come along,…

British Gas and AR marker arranging Direct Debit Payment Plan
Well this is a surprise, I recently switched from British Gas to Octopus - the best thing ever. However, around 6 weeks after switching there was a rather large bill from British Gas to pay, around £320.

It turns out this money has been sat there since 2014 when I had some big problems with First Utility. Octopus have been great and are refunding me, I have no problem with them, but somewhere along the…

It is not clear to me, but if currently on a fixed tariff with a few weeks remaining, does selecting a new fixed tariff immediately puts you on the new tariff or when your current term expires? Would appreciate your experiences. Thanks.

Snug Octopus - how many radiators???
Have had a bit of a battle with Octopus trying to get onto Snug which I won't go into, however, I've now been told we apparently have in their words "quite a number of radiators" and they're not sure what limit the Snug tariff can handle. I find this ludicrous. I've told them we have 7 storage radiators but only use 3, it…
