Just seen that my gas DD has gone up this month by 55.8% !!! Last time I had anything from Scottish gas it was a letter saying how competitive their prices are etc etc
55%? What a price hike. Did you get a letter from them telling you about the increases?
Funnily enough, last week there was a door-to-door salesman determined to convince me that Scottish Power was the cheapest elec/gas supplier in the UK and was eager to get me signed up. I declined, even though he said there was a 'cooling off' period of 7 days if I changed my mind.
Our standing order has just been increased from £85 a month to £175 a month and we're only £65 behind at the moment. We do have a gas Aga, but that's an outrageous increase.
£85 to £175 !!! kinell! Thought mine was a bit steep at £43 to £67.
I can't recall a letter saying that prices were going up by that much - maybe they sent one and disguised it as a "we're the last to put our prices up and by the smallest amount etc etc" but no, I don't recall anything.
I tried to call them to see whether I'd somehow underpaid (by variable direct debit)but got stuck with a robot for 10-15 mins or so. I'll be off to another supplier soon.
I prefer to pay by quarterly DD. Although a standing order would help spread the cost, I don't like the idea of handing over more money than I have to, then getting a refund etc.
My figures were for both gas and electric combined so it sounds like you already pay a fair bit.
I think Rigid Raider is up against it with an AGA. My in laws have a gas AGA in their bungalow (not much roof insulation and no cavity wall insulation) - they pay £250 a month for gas and elctricity!!
