Ebico moved me to a different provider without my permission.
I am in dispute with SSE who seem to have taken over my accounts from Ebico yet have not taken over that outfit. One bill is for £110, nearly all of which is for standing charge and VAT. It's always been my understanding that Ebico used SSE for billing and CSs, because I originally applied through the Ebico website and not…

Running costs for an aga
Can anyone give me an idea of how much an electric 3oven aga would cost to run per quarter? Our kitchen is very cold and the cooker needs replacing so it would seem a good idea to combine the two problems but not if the running costs are high - the initial outlay is bad enough!
