Scottish Power Renewal Joke

backfoot

I pride myself in seeking out the best energy deal.

My contract with Scottish Power ends on 30th September and the best price is some 15.8% above the current cost.:(

Has competition been abandoned ?

How can ordinary people be expected to cope with this?

HiYa backfoot,

- 15.8% above your previous deal, but how does that compare to

- other like~with~like % + deals with SP .. .. and other competitors in September 2012 ?

It relates to the best price on offer which is SP's Online Energy Saver 20 .

My previous contract is SP Direct October 2012. It has run about 14 months.

Talk is prices are going up again shortly and the above is a guaranteed below standard type product.

15.8%. What are wage/pension increases running at?

3% to 5% if you are very lucky.

How is it allowed to happen?

15.8%! Sounds ridiculous. Don't know the ins and outs but a a glance that's mad!

backfoot

It seems other readers also think it's a ridiculous increase. Have Scottish Power inadvertently added an extra 10% in error ?

Would SP care to comment please.

The majority of the country are having to cope with austerity measures and modest salary increases.

How are these increases going to be met?

I have just moved onto the online fixed November 13 tariff.
Paying 7%more than my last tariff with SP.
Now gone and the Online Jan 14 fixed tariff is out.
Might be worth you considering?
