I am on E on fix 8 which as many know comes to an end soon.

Done a quick comparrison and it tells me I can get a £98 CHEAPER fixed tarrif right now! I pay £50 per month for duel fuel. Looked at my old meter readings and from 11/5/10 to 3/5/11 I used 765 gas and 2762 electric. I just cant believe thats right

Also when I look on my online account it gives me the option of the age concern fix. Why? Am 27 not 72! I thought that was over 60's only?

Thanks xx

    If the gas is cu m that equates to 8568 kWh which combined with 2762 kWh electric seems about right for £50 per month. Put those figures into a comparison site and see what comes out, are you sure it did not say you will save -£98 which is £98 more expensive.
