Effects of the White Label Restrictions?

First Utility new exit fee scam switching tariffs
I've been with F:U for a few years, and have switched to cheaper tariffs with them a couple of times, as energy prices are falling, I figured this was easier than switching suppliers. F:U have never charged exit fees when switching to a tariff with longer date, and this was specifically stated (quote below). A couple of…

Ovo - Anyone changed tariffs?
I switched to Ovo in September and signed up for a fixed price tariff (Better Energy) with no exit penalties. I gather that customers signing up today for the same tariff are paying lower prices. I also gather Ovo discourage tariff hopping but will allow it with loss of the online discount (to avoid losing customers to…

Ovo energy prepayment- Massive price hike!
I received an e-mail today changing my tariff in March from 11.94p per kWh to 15.05p!!!! A whacking 3.11p per kWh! To compensate they're reducing the standing charge from 34.52p per day to 23.43p! I think this now makes Ovo one of the most expensive suppliers of pre payment electricity so be warned if you were thinking of…

The existing costs calculated by MSE are always too high (I never wait until a…
