So, nearly got caught out by a voucher this morning. These particular vouchers arrived at my house in the week accompanied by 3 free dishwasher tablets. The idea was to introduce me to a brand I did not use and then use the voucher for £1.50 to buy some more (and switch brands forever, no doubt). I arrived at the supermarket for my weekly shop and I looked at the dishwasher tablets aisle. I picked up a box of the brand I had the voucher for. They seemed good value at 33 for around £5. Deduct the £1.50 voucher from […]

I’ve just spent the last couple of days working out whether I should switch to a new fixed price tariff with my energy supplier EDF. The big issue was finding the time to do the maths and getting the right EDF representative on the end of the phone to run through the options I’d shortlisted in brain numbing detail. I’m not beyond politely terminating a call and ringing back a little later in order to get another person on the end of the phone. This holds true for all sorts of phone conversations, not just those with energy suppliers. Some […]

By 20th January the Christmas credit card bills will have arrived and many people will already be overdrawn. Most people will have been paid early in December and are now struggling through the five long weeks of January. The number of people […]

It is not only high balances on credit cards that can cost us dear. Even organised money fighters can get caught out by transactions made using their ‘stand-by’ credit card if they don’t follow a few rules… A second card is a good idea. There are always occasions when your first card can’t be used. It isn’t just that you might have maxed it out – see the example below. Money fighters always have a back up plan. But while the direct debit (DD) for our usual card choice is paid as normal the other card payment can so easily […]

Figures out today show that more than 600,000 households changed electricity supplier in November 2013. The figure fell back to 390,000 in December, which is not surprising. The time it takes to change energy supplier (electric or gas) supplier is still stuck stubbornly at a lamentable three weeks despite a commitment from the Government that customers should be able to change in 24 hours. If your energy bills are too high during this relatively mild winter, changing company may help. But first and foremost you need to make sure you are on the best tariff. Too many people are still […]
