I have not capped I haven't even had a bill yet only been in here since the middle of May paying £30 a month with BG for electric but getting the gas free as they haven't taken a payment or sent me any details about the gas.

Does being on "on benefits" mean that you don't pay for gas?

The worst sort of scavenging creep who gives decent carers and claimants a bad name. How unpleasant.

I only capped this time (due to end in Nov) because it was the cheapest supplier at the time, looking at current prices Click 5 will be £180 a year more for me when I need to switch again but that's the smallest increase.

Who did you 'cap' with and how long was the 'cap' for? TIA!

Free gas ?

Hope you get screwed

I decided not to cap but stick with an internet tariff. I think fear is a big factor here and I think as with most fixed price items you will be worse off over time - the energy companies are not going to lose out.

I almost fell into the trap with my remortgage and almost fixed when prices were rising almost daily in June/July. Now mortgage rates are falling - I'm so glad I didn't fix.

I've moved today from Eon v5 to v8 as they told me I would save £157 by doing so. I am quite happy to swap tariffs as and when necessary to get the best prices.

All I really want is to pay a fair price for things I need. It's seems crazy that we have to gamble in this way on the basic necessities.
