Hi Tick11, I havent read most of these posts as i knew First Utility would have problems with the installations of smart meters, I am with Scottishpower and find their Online Account helps you to monitor your own usage, and purchasing an electricity monitor, like an OWL etc also helps enormously. But what I am appalled at is your note which ...

Hi Dave Sorry to hear of your difficulties, also, ask them what they have with regards to social tariffs, these are not generally publicised by suppliers, but they guarantee to be their cheapest deals, Usually the conditions are that you have to be over 60 and in receipt of a passport benefit, like pension credits etc, British Gas have one called ...

Hi immi472, Sorry for not getting back to you so soon, I havent ever had a problem with Virgin network as i believe its piggybacked on the t-mobile network which is really good. I know a fair few people with Virgin phones aswell as sim deals, as they do good deals on phones and sims. I tend to stick to their sim only deals as you only have a 30 ...

Hi immi472 I am with virgin mobile, on their sim only deals, these are brilliant as you only have a 30 contract so you can swap and change as much as you like, they now do a 200 minutes and unlimited text offer for £10 a month, bargain, I was on this, but increased it to their more recent £18 which is 300 mins, unlimited texts and ...

Hi Shell C I am in a similar position, but with Abbey, however am suprised the rate in which you are moving too....is that right, i am with Abbey, fixed at 5.84%, but this ends at the end of december, and goes to their SVR currently 4.24%. This will save me approximately £200 a month. But I did call them only last month, as you can contact ...

Hi Sparky Apologies for replying, my laptop decided to break ! again I aint the luckiest person in the world, thankfully I know a good computer techy. I contacted Abbey on Thursday and they basically they said that due to their lending criteria changing they arnt offering the majority of their customers, maturing on a fixed rate anything other ...

Hi Shawnee32, From my information, ScottishPower are offering their customers on this particular fixed rate deal, which prevented you from having the massive increases in September 2008, a new capped rate, capping your prices, at today's rates, until September 2010. From their website, this isnt available to new or existing customers, except ...

Hi Sparky Thanks for the prompt response and for the advice. I guess with me its always the worry of hindsight ! The credit card, although the amount is high, really isnt worrying me at the moment, I meet the repayments fine, my main worry is my new mortgage. I know what you are saying about using my savings, but with two lads, its always nice ...

Hi All, I have been a contributing member to this site for a couple of years, however, I havent asked for any advice, until now ! and really am stuck as to what to do...... Basically to cut a long story short, in October 2007 me and my wife split, I remained in the family home, with my two young sons. At that time we had many debts, one being a ...

Hi All Was good to read through all the updates this evening, I have given that 0800 number a ring just now, it was for O2 Broadband support, they gave me the normal Mobile Customer services number of 0800 2300 202 and I spoke to a lady named vicky, she brought my account up - something i didnt expect after 4.5 years as date of disconnection was ...
