Hi all, my capped Scottish Power deal is finishing at the end of the month. I have been using the comparison sites to find my next deal. They all point back to Scottish Power. I am a light user, & have been paying £54/month. Am owing a little under £50, to them, so I am expecting the price to co up a LITTLE! Everytime I ring to discuss my new tarrif, I am getting different quotes. The first one was a rise of £5. In retrospect, I should have bit his arm off. But in true moneysaver style, I continued haggling. I am now up to £75. When I ask to be put thru to the sales team, I go back to customer services, so I go round & round. Has anyone else found similar problems. Am thinking of trying EDF or B Gas

    Hi Mech, what's the point of haggling, you may pay less per month, but take longer to pay orf your bills.
    It's the tariff price plus and minus all the bits and pieces and discounts, whatever, divided by twelve.
    Can't see you haggling down the unit price.
