Has anyone tried to sign up for this service? This product is showing up on all (well, at least the three I checked) comparison sites as the best one for me but none of the sites are able to effect a change -- there is no "switch" button.

Changing supplier if owe money
Does anybody know if you can change supplier and take your debt with you or do you need to pay it off?? I'm currently paying £76 a month for gas and £47 for electric.

How do I work out how much elec oven uses ?
Hi, i'm trying to work out how much it costs to have the oven on. The only thing I have is that it's energy consumption is 0.79Kwh.
