Lightbulb Scottish Power legally mugs the consumer and gets to do it with a smile.:D

Scottish Power legally mugs the consumer and gets to do it with a smile.

Energy generator and provider Scottish Power joins the rest of the energy companies by continuing their strangle hold of squeezing the consumer by announcing they are to increase their prices by 15%.

Gas Bills with them are set to rise by 15% and electricity by 14% .Scottish power which has approx 5.2 million customers in which to exploit, has decided to use the same script and say it’s due to the UK wholesale price.

It is now the forth energy company to announce double-digit price increases which includes British Gas, Npower and EDF.

May I suggest to that you change your energy supplier to a provider and not a generator/provider because the generators are the ones who set the wholesale price in the UK .Try selecting a provider who offers a fixed price that ‘doesn’t’ charge you a standing charge or has a varying rate for increased usage but just a flat rate no matter how much you use.

I’m with EBICo Ltd - using the market, making a difference (Equigas) for gas which for me means I’m charged 2.43pence per unit; I have to stress that,’That is it’ No! Varying rate, No standing charge and if you include the vat that’s 2.55pence per unit, no matter what part of the UK you live in .I’m stressing this bit because so many gullible people say that their rate is cheaper but don’t take into account that the rate charge goes up after a certain amount of usage, for example, for gas when I use to be with British gas it went up after 941 kwh to a higher rate.
