Scottish Power

[hau kola]

Hi all. We have our gas and electric with Scottish power and pay by direct debit. In September we were paying �88 per month. Then they put it up to �103, now they want to put it up to �127. Is this average, expensive or what?
Would like some feedback please.
BTW, there are 3 of us in a 3 bed house.

Think we are all being ripped of. Not sure which is cheaper out of the two, not had a gas supply for about 15 years

Gas has mostly been cheaper over the years

I have a quarterly bill and pay it when it arrives, my last bill was for 23/5/08 to 7/10 and was 188.04 for electric the\ gas was 48.21 so thats a joint bill of �236.60 for the quarter, though of course it is the lower priced quarter cos of the summer months, we've had the heating on most days since that bill came in and so i am expecting it to double on the gas and maybe half as much again on the elctric, so i expect it to be quite a hefty bill, but it's really hard to work out cos they use such technical terms, plus, I never know when the bill is up to cos the meter box is on the wall outside so who knows when they read it!! but your monthly D/D makes your bil �1534 a yeat!!!! that sounds expensive. at �20 a week for gas and electric thats only just over �1000 a year, you shouldn't be using over �20 a week in the simmer months. even with standing charges

I decided to stay on my pre-payment meters...the thought of a huge bill every quarter scares me!
I currently pay about �80 per month for gas....and �20-25 on elec...that is for a 3-bed maisonette. I have to keep the radiators in the unused rooms on,as it gets so damp down here.
I still freeze.....bring on summer-pleeeese!!

We are with EDF and they wanted to up the gas
d/d and we said no as we were �180 in credit ...
we do our bill on line and it's cheaper ...we pay
about �85 a month for both ..but also have a
economy 7 meter so do the washing and
drying on a timer on cheap rate ..it saves lots
of money but they don't publisise it ..i wonder
why !!!

Did you know that when you're in credit you can ask for it to be sent to you by cheque, they don't take it off you bill it just stays there , I got in touch with British Gas because I was �218 in credit and I was told all this, they sent me a cheque for the amount I was in credit, after all it's my money.

All these posts have got me worried. I pay �49.50 monthly to N-Power for both gas and electricity. 2 of us live in a 3-storey house and I haven't been asked for any more yet. Either yours are all high or I am in for a big shock!!
