Ive just had a chap at my door telling me that my gas and electic supplier (southern electic) put service charges onto my bills and looking at them it is correct, he also told me that i couls swap to BG and my bills would drop and also that they are dropping their prices and i could have them capped ....

    Who does it say is cheapest for you when you enter your annual kWh consumption figures into https://www.ukpower.co.uk ? Would you normally believe what a door to door seller tells you?

    I'm always of the opinion that if they have to 'sell' their product (And this includes religion!) at the door then it's probably not very good. With the plethora of comparison sites on the web now, NO-ONE should sign up with a company that knocks on your door. The direct selling industry is like the legal 'industry' - peopled by individuals who are paid for being economical with the truth....
    I spelt my username wrongly on purpose, by the way!
