Students Get Cheaper Gas - Electric & Water bills

Options
Hey guys,

:A
I found this website called http://www.utilitiesin1.com/

It looks pretty interesting as they consolidated all the bills like heating & water into one. It also says that they send an sms to mulitple occupiers in student properties to say who needs to pay etc. Nice little follow up for those of us that always pay on time.

Looks pretty good what do you think?

    They don't have any prices on their website.

    Also, you can't get water cheaper nor can you change supplier. So I assume they simply pay the water company for you and charge you for the privilege.

    They are good but not MSE. They charge extra for the privilege.

    They charge £3/month. All tenants have to pay by direct debit or pay extra to make payments a different way. They claim to simply go with the provider who offers the cheapest prices (not sure how they can be so definite as it depends on the usual amount of energy you use doesn't it?).

    I would be nice if all utilities companies let people share bills payments though.

    I assume you are all still equally and severally liable for the bills, but they just collect them separately?
