    I have left it for now and will try Quidco tommorrow. Has anyone else had this trouble?

    Friend of mine switched on Sunday through the quidco route, no problem at all. The cashback tracks at £70 as apposed to the £55 in the quidco listing.

    Just switched to EON from EDF-£55 Quidco and £180 cheaper per yr-Looks a no brainer-Dont know how long Online 5 will last at current price for but can always switch again. Sent E mail to EDF to confirm that tariff should not increase whilst transfer in process as per their letter.

    Hi, I've done the same and got a reply e-mail from EDF confirming that if I've done the switch within 14 days of the change, prices should not increase before transfer. however, I wonder if they take into account the price change date (1st Feb) or the date I received the letter announcing the change (8th Feb). There are no date at all on the letter (of course!), and since I've done the switch on the 9th, I wonder if E-ON will contact EDF on time....

    Quidco site has now been updated and shows £70 for a genuine dual switch,-this can only be paid if your account is set to pay through BACS.

    Have just switched from Scottish Power to E.ON.

    Ok I have joined the club and switched from EDF to Eon today, saving £120 plus hopefully if it tracked £70 as well through quidco

    I have just tried to switch to EON through Quidco, and everything goes ok until I enter my bank details and them it keeps throwing it back at me saying that the sort code and bank account details do not match. After 3 attempts at putting it through it says I need to print a paper direct debit form out through a PDF link and fill them in. I presume this would disqualify the Quidco cash back as it would not be completed wholly online. I tried doing it through the energy helpline site and it accepts all the bank account details with no problem. I have left it for now and will try Quidco tommorrow. Has anyone else had this trouble?


    I had exactly the same problem so used a different account.

    I had £70 tracked on Sunday which was a nice bonus as site only stated £55 at that time.

    E.on's own comparison site shows I would save £132.
    Energyhelpline and UK Power says £40 worse off than Ebico.
    Energyhelpline (when putting in EON enrgy saver 5) shows Ebico best . So slanted results on Eon site, very slanted.
