Have a read of the Trading Standards guidance on pricing (http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/c...V1011-1111.txt).

Whilst VM can happily sell you services as bundles at a bundle charge, they should have a price list available for each product. I'll just add that I'm happy with the current billing system but should be able to obtain a price list if required.

The package holiday analogy isn't the same as the prices of each part can vary daily whereas VM's products have a standing charge with ocassional increases/discounts.

In respect of gas prices, you'll always get a contract with unit charges although the numerous tariffs available are what cause the confusion.
