Just had a letter from npower to tell me gas prices went up on July 1st, are they allowed to do this as i thought they had to tell you before an increase not a week after they've actually put them up!!!!

    I got mine yesterday aswell, 1 week after the increase.. This is strange.

    We should check these prices are used for new customers aswell, and that they are not pulling a "powergen" on us, maintaining 2 different prices for the same tariff - this is why I left powergen in the first place.

    Hi,

    Just got my letter informing me of the price increases. I have just swithced to Npower. I used those readings again and found I could be marginally better off with my old company, typical! I am now questioning whether I should consider changing again since this is their 2nd increase in less than 6 months or hang on since the other suppliers may be following suit soon?
