A survey of over 9,000 households found just 6% are receiving electricity discounts of more than 10%, even though reductions of up to 30% are widely available.

A new campaign is looking for thousands of consumers to switch energy and insurance companies so they can get discounts on household bills.

One in three taxi passengers have said that drivers with poor local knowledge are their biggest irritation, according to a survey.

A consumer movement that negotiates group discounts on utility bills for thousands of householders is taking its people power approach to water charges.
