I am having a great week so far. As I was already £400 in credit I have altered my fixed rate energy (gas & electric)tariff from £157 to £120 and been told this keeps me on track for the rest of the year. The water bill has gone down from £30 a month to £20 as we are using less than they thought (and so in credit) since older son moved out. Then my contract with virgin media was ending (I was paying £66 but they wanted to increase it to £80) but they have agreed to keep tv, home phone & broadband same with 2 tv boxes for £56 a month. They are also giving me increase of data on mobile from 1gb to 6gb with unlimited texts n calls for £6 instead of £6.71 (every little helps!)
I will be saving around £58 a month, which is fantastic.
Has anyone else found any ways to save money on bills etc?
My dad just contacted virgin media to ask them to reduce his £112 pm bill and they have reduced it to £61 with everything staying the same.
Definitely worth contacting these companies to get a better deal.
