What are rates of nPower Fixed 2011 tariff?

Settling up outstanding bills.
I switched once before, from BG to N Power who provided no meter readings nor accurate monthly amounts to actually cover my usage, so we switched back.....at least we were paying a realistic rate to cover bills. But my main point is this; when switching one still has to find the ££ to settle up any outstanding from the old…
