Our elderly neighbour had her boiler replaced by British Gas last week. When I dropped in to visit her today, there was a strong smell of gas from the cupboard under the stairs. I turned off the ...

The meter I had had 3 readings, these being a day time, a night time and a reading that never moved. They were told this repeatedly but continued to estimate this 3rd reading. Every time my ...

Hi all, I hope someone can help - 7 months ago I received a letter from Wescot Credit Services saying that I owed money for an outstanding British Gas bill dating back to Dec 2007. I concede I may owe money on this as this is when I moved property. I contacted Wescot and asked them for the final bill from British Gas so I could work out what I owed prior to the date I moved out of the ...

Yes, what a shocker, a thread about British Gas that's not a rant thread From having huge problems with BG around 3-4 years ago i now find myself in the position of heaping praise on them. Had to ring them twice in the last 3 months, and both times have found the call handlers to very polite, extremely helpful, and profoundly efficient. And they are saving me nearly £70 a month ...
