my monthly payments have gone up from £21 for gas and leccy to £134
i told scottish power to sod off and managed to come to an agreement of a better payment
I though energy prices were "supposed" to come down in accordance with the falling oil prices??

As the cost to them has fallen ....It's criminal that they are not now lowering prices as fast as they put them up.

I moved into a new flat at the end of Nov, its got no central ehating, only runs on electric.
God knows what my bills will be like, but i hope they have been somewhat protected from the craziness in gas prices. At present I am paying the same with EDF as is charged by Ecotricity, so I may well switch to the greener kind of stuff once my first quarterly bill is in.
Last year, 1 bed flat, dual fuel was paying on average £35 a month to heat it, which was super duper.
Whats going on now is insane

on the flip side it is getting harder and therefore more expensive for exploration, licensing, facilitation and processing of oil & gas as its running out and getting harder to find good sources (hence the antarctic oil fields uproar).
what would happen if they reduced prices and ran out of money trying to find and farm more sources?

I got a response from EON today - something about F'off, we'll do what we want and we have no plans to reduce prices.

We pay a lot because we burn special golden gas which they import directly from Mars and use electric which is made from crushed diamonds. Apparantly.

There should be a huge tax on energy to save the world from frying.

If enough people complained & refused to be ripped off, they'd have to do something positive for the UK & charge less.
Good on ya, If only more CUKers had fight in them & didnt just accept it because 'thats the way it is'
