Reduction of 'Green' charges on fixed price fuel bills
Given the reduction/abolition of 'Green charges' on our energy bills, wondering if anyone else has pursued this issue with their energy company where they're on a fixed-price tarrif? I've been in touch with Scottish Power who confirm the reduction for some accounts but not for mine which is Fixed-price to April 2015. Whilst I appreciate the 'gamble' in that energy prices can go down as well as up (not often the former I grant you) I feel this is different and not beyond the wit of the companies to equally benefit those in my position. Any thoughts on this, or how it might be pursued?

Whilst it's commendable that some companies are passing on the tax cut, I see no reason why they should be compelled to. If you take out a fixed rate mortgage, should you pay less if the BoE reduce the base rate? If you buy currency 3 weeks before your holiday and the pound then strengthens, should you be able to return to the vendor and get more euros?
As always, you can invoke the complaints procedure; if they don't satisfy your complaint within 8 weeks you can take it to the regulator, and if you still get nothing there's the small claims court. I don't fancy your chances though.0 -
