E.on Next - Just accepted a new tariff but want to cancel it.
I just accepted a new tariff but realized it was a tracker and wish to cancel it and get a fixed. What is the best way of going about this? I have sent a message via Whatsapp but is there anything else I can do? If I signup to a new fixed deal would that cancel the Tracker that I have just signed up to?

Home Energy sticking to opening "industry read" (double charged units?)
A couple of months ago, I switched to Home Energy for electricity. Despite having a smart meter and the previous supplier using the correct reading for the closing read (ending '115'), Home Energy insist on using an "industry" opening read (ending '095') meaning there's a double charge of around 20 units (they are charging…

Off Peak hours not what I expected. Do they vary?
Hello, I've been on the very good Quantum Dimplex tariff with British Gas. It's been great but it is ending soon and rather annoyingly, there isn't a replacement Quantum Dimplex tariff. So much for that partnership between the two…. So I am trying to find another tariff to move onto. I found a good one last night with…

Flexible Octopus tariff - is my understanding correct?
Dear All, Just want to check my understanding before making a bad decision in terms of changing tariff. It's not at all clear from the tariff info but it states the following. "Flexible Octopus prices follow wholesale costs and update every 3 months." I found this website https://www.octopriceuk.app/tracker Does this…

storage heaters
I'm not sure what to do. I moved into a property 2 months ago and have economy 7 storage heaters. I left electric as it was on e7 because I didn't know how this worked. When my bill came in it was exceptionally high even though I was on e7 rate. I'm not sure what to do now because it seems that people are panicking over…

EON Next Time of Use Energy Consumption- Electric
I had my suspicions that I was being overcharged for energy with EON, so I went through my bills and noted that there were no meter readings just consumption figures. I added them all up, added them to the opening reading I had when I joined them and by my calculation this was 10k kw more than my final energy reading with…

Energy costs -Still not sure whether to change back to fixed rate

Starmer on radio this morning said bill would fall by £100 for avge household .Last year they said it was £150 then a few weeks ago I heard a minister say it was £118.

Cheap-rate electricity sounds great in theory, but how do people actually remember?
I get the idea of using electricity at the cheaper times, and in theory it makes total sense. But in real life I think the hardest part is just remembering at the right moment. It’s easy to say “run the washing machine later” or “wait until the cheaper period”, but day to day I think most people just forget or get busy.…

To switch or not to switch...
I'm sure this is the most asked question but I'm a bit confused with the MSE comparison tool. I'm currently with EDF on their Fixed 26 paying £127 per month. I have a zero exit fee and was thinking of jumping before the rise on the 1st July which is also when my tariff expires, as it looks likely there is going to be at…

Smart meter installed 5 months ago, still no usage data with OVO Energy, anyone else had this
just wanted to see if anyone’s been through something similar as it’s getting a bit frustrating now. I moved into a new property and initially had a completely incorrect bill from OVO, which they later admitted was wrong. Because of that, they installed a smart meter around 7 months ago to fix things going forward.The…

Economy 7 / dual rate
Hi, I feel very stupid about this but it's only recently that I realised there is such a thing as a flat rate for electricity rather than day/night rates, which is what I've always had. I've lived in my current flat since 2020 and it's only electric so I now understand its an economy 7 meter. When I look at comparison…

Octopus Energy (OE) - Dissappointed
We have been with OE for some years and have been quite happy with the service and cost of energy. However in January, this year, I received an email saying: "Whilst checking the billing on your account, we found that there's a chance you may be submitting your night and day readings the wrong way around.". The subject of…
