    Hi fredandwilma,

    Thank you for this information. I have just registered with all three websites although...

    ... British Gas won the Collective Switch??? It would cost me £41 per year more so don't think I'm quite the muppet one ill-mannered poster thinks I am... Where were his beloved Eon??? I wonder how many shares he has...

    11 days to go for the milkman switch. It doesn't give too many details. To be tried and tested?[/Q


    Just had a look at the "Milkman" site,
    It seems ok ,but no cashback seems to be on offer and once the winning supplier has been selected , it says that the supplier will contact you direct if you want to take up the offer.
    The switch is then undertaken by the new supplier and no further involvement by milkman. This differs from the way other collective switches seem to work.
    I might register, but only concern is will I open the flood gates to unwanted e- mails?

    why not do what any sensible person does, have a separate email for such a purpose and then when it has served it's purpose, never check it again.

    The second one in the list by F&W is just a disguised affliliate of MyUtilityGenius.co.uk

    I’m having problems registering for the Big Community Switch with iChoosr.

    All goes well as I work through the onsite questions until I get to the two that ask me to enter my annual consumptions of gas and electricity in kWh.

    When I do that, it throws up an error message on each of them. Repeatedly.

    If I press “Continue” at the bottom of the page, it just reloads the page and asks the same questions.

    If I simply abandon it, I get an email from The Big Community Switch asking me to complete my registration. :wall:

    So, I rang them. Unlike the “Cheap Energy Club, they have a telephone support line :) . I got through (quickly) to a very charming and helpful lady who attempted to enter my details manually, at her end, but she, too, kept getting the same result. Whatever she tried.

    She eventually concluded that there's a glitch in their system and has forwarded the issue to their IT department...

    The Noddle website is still describing the collective switch opening on September 19th in the future tense. It wouldn't have hurt to update the landing page.

    There is another Collective Auction here:

    https://petrolprices.ichoosr.com/Product/index.rails?actionId=508

    It is another one run by ichooser but on behalf of petrolprices.com (the website that provides updates on the latest petrol & diesel prices in your area, or elsewhere)

    Auction takes place on 11th October, with personal offers going out from 24th October.

    Not sure if this is the same as any of those already listed, but there is another Collective Auction by ichooser here:

    https://biglondonenergyswitch.ichoosr.com/Product/index.rails?actionId=504

    Its on behalf of London boroughs but you don't have to live in London to register.

    Again auction takes place on 11th October, with personal offers going out from 24th October, so it may just be the same as all the other ichooser collectives.

    I'm still waiting for Peoples Power as they offer £10 cashback per fuel, too. :)

    Just registered for the Peoples Power Collective. Did not see any dates though for when it happens.
