New Electric and Gas company

There is a new utility company that's just come on the market a few months ago, I say few months it started around September. They are cheaper than any of the main 6 UK company's in that they don't make a profit on the utilities they sell. Instead, they charge a monthly fee depending on how much you use, from £6.99 for a low user, under 2399Kwh to £13.99 for users of more than 6000Kwh, that's just £167.88 then your gas and electric usage on top.
As an example British Gas wanted me to pay £705 for the year that was nearly £59 per month but this new company will charge me just £32.07 a month although a check just before writing this and the same figures gave a price of £37.84 per month but are I bothered as they have given me a quote on how much I will pay each month and how much each unit costs. I have about 1000 units to play with in my price bracket before my monthly membership fee would go up so am not really bothered as I am saving about another 50p per day just switching the TV/blu-ray/ DVD/games consoles off at the socket when not in use.

Want to know who this company is? I bet you do they are outfox the market and I have saved £80 plus before I looked at the tariff, which for me is 10.45p and 3.25p with a £8.99 fee on the electric which is £107.88 rather than my suppliers 26.1p per day, or £190.53 standing charge per year.

Now the update on the outfox the market as I moved to them on 4/1/18.
Until I contacted them about not getting monthly statements at the beginning of April it took about two weeks to get the statements added to the account. When I look at them I got a shock, as I was on British Gas free time before the move the statements had an opening meter reading of 7906 but my meter reading is taken at around 09:30 AM was 9776,  some 1870 difference to the reading I gave them at 09:00AM. Of I go to my old BG account to see if there is anything from the account still there, luckily there were the final meter readings so I took a screen capture and cut it down to just the readings. It had two readings for the electric, the units used Monday to 09:00am Sunday & the free time units used since I moved on to the scheme added together the 7906 and the free time units of 1844 gave a reading of 9750 a lot closer to the reading I took at around 09:30. I should have known when I contacted them with the first meter reading when I was asked when I took the reading after I gave them it.

Today I called them 27/4/18 and told them I had been asked to call in regards to my email. they got my email up and the attachment then said they would query it with my old supplier.
They told me it would take a couple of weeks, this was done in just under 4 minutes on the phone

Beating the DWP at their own game, ESA related

Well just imagine you receive ESA, support group or WRAG, and you receive a letter asking you to attend a F2F assessment what would you do?
First of all, don't panic, make a note of the date and time, sometimes they expect the claimant to travel miles when you have an assessment centre closer to home, maybe in your home city or town, call them and tell them you have an assessment centre there and require an assessment in your home town/city. If they refuse don't just give up go to ceomail.com and look up the CEO of the assessment company and tell them how your journey will affect you it could be that the cheapest option, a bus might take hours to get there. The DWP require that you look for work no more than 90 minutes travel from your home, so try that by listing each part of the journey and how long it will take, do the whole journey not just up to the 90 minutes it would take you. This is a trick used by the DWP and assessment company to see how you follow instructions and directions. Use your worst day as an example, not your best or average day, do you know how you will be on that day?

When they say to contact the 0800 number and tell them just the basics, they will possibly have been contacted by the PA of the CEO with your email detailing everything so no need to go through it again.
Once you get the assessment at the centre closest to your home, this will possibly be at a different time and date to the one on the letter, write it down as they will say they will send you a letter with the date and time on, they sometimes don't but just in case write it down. 48 hours before the time, or a bit longer call them and ask for the assessment recording. It's your right to have it recorded as Chris Grayling said on 1/2/12 " Those who wish to have their assessment recorded may do so."
This might involve another cancellation or change of date as you have called them about 48 hours before to ask for the assessment recording.
When you do eventually get there ask for the travel expenses form, then ask if the recording equipment is there once you have the form. They might say yes without moving or they might go and check. Then ask them if it is complete and in full working order! again they might have to go and check but they will more than likely just say Yes.
Once you are called into the assessment, take your time it's not a race, don't forget if it is not your worst day, act it. They cannot prove it isn't your worst day and as I say if they assume you are putting it on then it is only their opinion and I say ASSUMPTION IS THE MOTHER OF ALL FUCK UPS! 
Look at the equipment it should be a duel tape or CD and there should be two boundary mics, if these are not there decline the assessment on the grounds that the equipment is not complete and in full working order SEE HERE for the reply to an FOI request about the recorders, it clearly states that boundary mics are required. If they are not present decline and under no circumstances continue.
The downside of this is that your assessment rate or benefit is stopped. My advice to this is to issue court papers against the assessment company and the DWP for reinstatement of the benefit, assessment or other rate be it support group or WRAG Plus compensation, they have lied and the DWP have taken their lies as Gospel that the claimant, you, didn't turn up. If you have your own recording, and I always advise doing your own covert recording, then you can type this up not only as proof you turned up but that the DWP didn't ask for an explanation on form BF223 as to why you, the claimant , didn't turn up because if they did you could inform them that you did turn up but the recording equipment was not complete and in full working order. If they then say this was not a good enough excuse you then bring the prosecution against both of them the assessment company and the DWP. This would be a case they could not win because your covert recording is proof you turned up.
Under no accounts should you sign anything that says you will not discuss this or divulge any information to any third party, i.e. the media or a blog, even your facebook page? You could even prosecute them again for failure to pay you, the claimant, the compensation awarded to you and ask for more compensation for the stress it has caused you. You would more than likely be awarded a token amount and your costs, but it is better than nothing.
