Apeaking of stuff I have posted. I recommended that people switch their electric and gaz to SSE a month ago. Well my switch took place last week, and got the letter today with my £100 Love2shop voucher. My £90 Quidco has also also tracked....best thing is, I can now switch again if I wished, and only pay £50 to do so, so £140 profit even if I only stay with them for these 4 weeks :beer:

Good to hear some got the deal - I considered it but MSE Cheap Energy Club suggested that tariff would be £262 more than my current BG fixed tariff, so not profitable for me (next cheapest that I could then switch back to is £173 more then I am paying now.

Damn the hike in tariffs .

Little bit of advice needed please, DD2 has had couple of phone calls on her mobile few weeks apart from DRPL (Debt Recovery Plus Ltd). Both times been voice messages and didn't mention her by name.

The first time she rang back without speaking to us as it had worried her. She was asked for her ref no. which she doesn't have one as has never received any formal correspondence from them. The lady asked for her name and vehicle reg which she gave. :eek: But was told no outstanding fines for her. Phew! Just assumed it was wrong no. But now she has had a second call and it's same bloke ringing. I have told her not to answer and to ignore. Is this the best way forward?

I notice they do tracing for landlords but it's well over a year now since she rented anywhere and as far as she knows everything was paid up and cancelled.

Thanks to hampydoodums and subsequent posters for the IAMS mention. I saw, on mysupmkt that a 3kg bag (dog food) was £10.50 at A vs £5.25 at W. Took a few knorr 50p coupons with me for fillers.

The shelf price was £7.50. I was far too busy at the till to notice it going through at the £10.50 (per mysupkt) so trotted off to CS for £3 and (with a nudge) a £2 smiley.

That sounds spooky TS. If it were me I'd ignore them if I hadn't done anything wrong. Poor girl must have got a shock though when they rang back. Maybe they have the wrong number xx
