so who offers the best deal for electricity?

[brucelee]

Try Moneysupermarket.com it came up with loads cheaper than British gas who I am with now for duel fuel

one was Utilita which was £192 cheaper monthly variable
another was spark2 advance I think and that was £380? lol

so worked my tariff out and deffo being ripped
I then Rang Bg to ask about switching tariffs for my Mum also as I feared they would be increasing soon
My mum Got one October 2014 fixed Standing charge 17p a day and about 12p a kw/h
Next day BG announces increases so ring trying to get same tariff and amazingly they have all changed and reflect the new price increases Nov fix and fall 26p a day standing charge and about 15p a kw/h rogues

I am currently on standard tariff and paying the most new standard tariff is same as Nov fix and fall prices so no point changing to that
they have a alternative March 2016 which is even more lol Fixed with £50 early exit fee for both fuels

So think soon its time to jump ship from BG been a customer forever lol the lady on the phone didnt have a answer when i said I thought the new prices were only due to come in on the 23rd but amazingly all new tariffs have already increased to reflect these increases

Each year over the last few I have cut the amount of energy we are using 1 year saving 500kw/h on each fuel roughly for them to increase it and it cost me over £100 more lol
couple of years back was paying about £500+ for each fuel then £600+ last year £750+ reckon when I get my annual statements soon it will be 800-900 each so with new prices next year will be £1000+ each

They should be shot at dawn and the whole thing changed back to Public owned not for profit as they are a necessity especially for elderly or vulnerable who like me wont have been putting it on until practically freezing

anyway thats my 2 pennies worth lol

Smart meters will put an end to a lot of the fraud going on, reckon that's why they so keen. And the additional bonus of putting hundreds of meter readers out of a job of course!

We are with EDF but they lost track of us and our meter. Due to this cock up we had no bill for 7 years. At first we called them asking them for our bill. After a year we gave up asking them. We still put the money aside. In the end I got a letter addressed to the occupier saying they wanted to remove the meter. We rang them they said we have your letters but for some reason every time we set up your account it was cancelled. They told us they could only ask for the last 12 months usage by law as they were to blame

Now we are still with EDF on economy 10
