npower price increase

mrhiggins

I'm on a fixed price duel fuel tariff until Jan 2014 but have recently had a letter from NPower saying that my gas and electric prices are going to increase from 1st July 2013. Has anyone else had this or similar and can they actually do this given that it's meant to be fixed until 2014?

Is it a fixed price tariff as I'm sure they had a 2014 tariff which was a certain discount off their standard price - and as their standard price was going up, their 2014 tariff was going up in line. I suspect that this is what you are on and so its not a fixed tariff at all.
