warm home discount scheme

Bootsalebargains

I rreceived my voucher this morning to take to the post office and exchange it for electic onto my key, my local post office refused to do it saying they'd done 1 the other day and their till didn't tally up at the end of the day so they weren't taking any more of them. Managed to get it done at another post office though.

Hi i applied but had no letter from Scottish Power.

I just put £7 on key and returned home and i have £122 + £5 emergency taking that to possible £120 from them and the £7 i just put on?

I've just rang British Gas to find out when Essentials is ending and was told it would be the end of March or April and everyone on the tariff would get a letter.

We qualify for the Warm Home Scheme and he's registered me for that but to be honest I would much rather stay on Essentials. It's all very well getting £130 next year but I'm going to be paying more for both my gas and electricity now. Plus we've got a prepayment meter (no debt but it's a rented house and we can't change to a credit meter) so we can't go on one of the cheaper tariffs we'll be on the standard rate.

I've just compared last years annual electricity statement with this years:
Last year 5,189.69kw used cost £518.28
This year 5,185.98kw used cost £608.87

So almost exactly the same amount of electricity used but a rise of £90 and that's on the Essentials tariff so it's going to be much more this year. And that's just electricity, I can't find last years gas statement to compare but I'm guessing that's risen more than the electricity.

Npower had called me to say i will get mine within the next 3 weeks but i though they had to pay them out by end of March?

Received mine yesterday from EON, £120 electric voucher, although I am yet to exchange it.

Mine was from EON too, they had to put it on in 2 lots a £99 and a £21, it's weird looking at my metre and seeing over £100 on it.

It won't be like that long. I swear since getting mine i am using double the power somehow... Or atleast it is taking double the normal money.

I applied through EON's website last December and got an email saying they had recieved it. Emailed them yesterday asking if I was going to get the money and they replied asking who and where did I apply to, as they had already paid everyone who had applied. In other words they had lost my application thanks EON. :mad:
