Hi all, Tried to get my electricity through EDF - was past from dept to dept and lost interest after speaking to 8 different people, in the course of 1 hour. Nobody seemed to know what to do or even want the business, strange way to run a company - must be related to talktalk.
In the end rang Npower - spoke to one dept and signed up for 2 years fixed at 8.28p per unit and standing charge of £32,79 per qtr. Discount of 2% for DD.
Thought the above might be of interest to you. As for rates - the small business relief only applies if you actually fill in a form and apply for it. 50% relief for all properties under £5000 rateable value (I think - please check if unsure) but you need to apply within 6 months of end of year.
Cheers John
