Gas & Electricity

Had EON plus round today to fit smart meter. They change the gas meter and elec meter then tell they won't work cos there is no signal in the area. Cheadle. What was the funking point of them wanting to fit them in the first place ! And how do read the fuckers now.

It’s so you can’t tamper with them later, ours with EDF the leccy one has never worked, it’s a fucking con, and no doubt they are getting government grants to do it.
 
Just had my DD payments for October, 1 payment left of £160 + 12 payments of £190 = 2280 + 160 total = £2440 no mention of the £400 allowance. Oh and I get £150 refund in Sept because I’ve overpaid in DD payments.
 
So does this mean I won’t pay anymore even if I go over the capped price because if that’s true all the people with the big fuck off houses will benefit more than anyone else.

It's a cap on a unit, you still pay more of you use more
 
Martin lewis much calmer today , the news for households is good and businesses should know where they stand in nov

Who are you with mate and is this a fixed deal that’s been altered?
 
The government have effectively approved a doubling of bills compared to this time last year. Europe just announced a windfall tax on producers but political dogma prevents that here.
Perhaps any freezing of costs should have started with reducing taxation of the energy. The Gov is collecting much more vat etc than it budgeted for.
 
Far from it. I’ve just worked hard all my life and if I can’t afford it I don’t have it. Always lived within my means
Voted Labour all my 34 years of voting
But don't agree with the money going straight into people's bank accounts. Too many people have there priorities wrong.
 
Just had email from Octopus. They do seem to be doing more than most to alleviate the problems.

'We’re reducing our standing charges a further 4% from the Government discounted level – I
wish it could be more, but in times like these it’s only right to direct as much help as possible to
those less fortunate. We’ve also stopped advertising on TV, bus stops, train stations, sports
arenas and online, and are redirecting all these funds to help customers who are struggling.'
