Have been with british gas since after mum died .. i stayed with them it was easier .. anyway they've just sent me a cheque for £20 .. to help with my winter bill. Anyone else who's with british gas got one?

Thank you british gas .. that will go in my bank account tomorrow ..

its a nice surprise. Ok it will be going back to them when i pay my bill but still .. its £20 ..

still been overcharging every single one of tehir customers for teh past year so screw em , watchdog exposed them on at least 3 occasions and they point blank refused to charge a price more realistic to what they pay for their gas and even tehir excuses got proven to be a sham

its about time govenment steppe din on both gas companies like british gas and petrol companies and told them to stop taking the urine

good you got £20 back but they shoudl be giving customers a hell of a lot more back

Does anyone know who is the cheapest company is to be with. I am with N-Power. My payments are 150 per monthly. Rang them regarding this as i thought it was expensive They stated that it was correct and that i was only an average user. Any thoughts is this high or average in terms of my bill. I asked my neighbour what they were paying 170 seems high to me.

That sounds expensive, have you tried putting glass in your windows maybe that will help cut fuel bills!

Gone with British Gas just saved 75 pound a month, they also give you a 53 pound credit after 12 months. WEB saver 5 tariff.

Come back in a year and tell us what you really saved. I don't trust any of them and would not be surprised if they just set your payments low to suck you in. Give it a few months and see if estimate was low and you have actually used more gas than you have paid for.

Like you Jen, we are on the cheapest Tariff......we got our cheque for £20 last week........and like you I know they will be getting that money back when the next bill comes in, but £20 is £20 and not to be sniffed at.......after all you would walk past £20 lying on the pavement would you?
