My supplier wrote to me to advise me that they were raising my direct debit by an extra £50 per month because I owed then less than £20 (over a year). I 'charged' them £20 for the phonecall I had to make - they paid me £5 + a big sorry!

All a cunch of bunts TBH

chaps try living in northern ireland. one robbin bastid supplier. at least you guys can shop around. £400 a quarter is regular. 4 x 900l oil fills a year as well ffs

It's the same over here for us on the other side of the world. We pay over 900AUD$ a quarter, approximately 600UKP. Not cheap at all.

What inc VAT rate are people paying per unit of electricity? Mine, I believe if 10.6p, although it was 9.99p for a good while before that.

zip106

Bloody hell, that's cheap!

E-ON have just told me that my unit cost will be going up to 25p per kwh, for the first 900kw per year (anything used after that is charged at 13p kwh) from September.

So, I've moved to npower on 22p pkwh and that's fixed until December 2012.

There's only one way prices are going so get into a fixed deal now.

time to hook into the local street lamp.. would you only get power in the hours of darness though ???

Fixing the price might be a good idea. Just got the letter from E-on

I'm as tight as f*ck with the heating. It pretty much goes off from April/May and won't come back on until about October. If we need to wash up, boil the kettle. Same for shaving etc. I boil the kettle in the morning for 3 cups of coffee and enough to shave with.

Just connect up before the timer switch lol

WOW now i am confused my letter from eon say -

current price per kwh day rate is 27.11p going up to 30.4p for the first 900kwh

anything after that is currently 13.74p going up to 15.41p per kwh

night rate economy 7 is currently 5.27p going up to 5.91p per kwh

all + 5% vat

night rate doesnt sound much but when you can use up to a good 3-4 thousand units over winter it all adds up.

there all bobin rastards

You really can't blame the electric company bosses when they feel they ought to be earning even bigger 6 figure salaries as well as monstrous bonuses to keep up with the other bosses!

It seems to me we have a new generation of greedy muppets in charge of all these companys who seem to think well they need it so fck um they can pay for it , the thing is what can we do about it cus we do need it , you cant live with out it .
