    Anyone any experience of using this company. My MSE deal is also coming to an end and this seems to be the cheapest deal and not too bad customer reviews on Trustpilot. Any one on the Forum used them??

    My Collective Fix also ends on 3.10.17 and the indications are that both gas and electricity will rise horrendously. I suppose I was only expecting electricity to rise after the BG increase but as the fix was dual fuel I will be hit hard by both! Can MSE get an agreement with BG that gas remains fixed ie a Single fuel fix?

    Or have I got my head in a muddle?

    I've just tried it and Confused appear to offer the same prices that the Energy Club does ?!

    My collective is coming to end during October. BG are increasing their prices by by over £200 per year so it will be bye bye BG.

    The best deals that I am seeing on MSE energy club is with companies that I have never heard of; one of which is Green network energy. I will wait for a few weeks and hopefully MSE will report a new collective.

    I may be mistaken but I think that you will find that MSE has heard of this particular supplier.

    Correction:

    I am wrong. MSE signed up with Green Star, and Green Network Energy is another new supplier. No doubt different from the rest etc etc etc. It is getting difficult to keep up with the number of suppliers that Ofgem is awarding aupply licences to at the moment. They must be desperate for the £450 registration fees.

    "We hope you'll decide to stay withus but, as your fixed contract is ending, you can move to a different supplier without any notice or paying an exit fee

    If you decide to switch you will keep your current prices until:
    1. you switch to one of our other tariffs ...... You have got to be joking!:D
    2. you switch to another supplier and they tell us you'd like to switch within 20 days after your current tariff ends. The switch then needs to be completed in a reasonable time.

    You can move to a different supplier without paying any exit fees from the 13th August

    We may refuse the switch if you owe us money unless you pay what you owe within 30 working days of our refusal."

    I had the same issue - BG DD increase because of their forecast usage against the new prices. I told them I would be leaving at the end of this deal and them put my DD back down to what it's been all year. They are still going to owe me £80 at the end of it.

    Just waiting for the next collective fix or I'll just have to go with the top of the best picks at the beginning of September.

    "We’re hoping to run another collective switch later this year, but as yet we’re not able to confirm dates. The energy market has been challenging in recent months, so there’s no guarantee that we’ll be successful.

    Although we’ll always aim to beat it, the cheapest deal available today may not be available by the time we next hold a collective. You can either fix and lock in your prices now to be safe, or hold on to see if we can negotiate a better deal."

    Thanks,
    MSE Laura

    In other words, 'you're on your own now'. Thanks a bundle.
