If tariff ends 31st July and you "switch" now would you get charged exit fee?
Hi guys sorry if this is a rather silly question, but my current tariff ends 30/07 and there is a £30 early exit fee per fuel. I have been notifed that the tariff is coming to an end so am shopping around; but if I do start a switch now, would the new company see the end date and switch after that? It could take that long…

Submitting meter readings
Hey guys, Girlfriend and I moved into our first property back in December and still getting used to things. We currently pay £73 a month for our gas and electric. Initially we thought this was high but haven't questioned it because I now work from home so the house is occupied more than it was a few months ago. We have…

Comparison site confusion
I am with British Gas for dual fuel on a fixed tariff . BG have given me a new quote which saves £50 per year. I decided to look at a comparison site and used Uswitch with my annual kw usage. This gave me 3 results which offered to save me from £209 to £704 per year! Unfortunately when I looked at the figures the BG yearly…

Time to switch, my CO-OP fixed May 2016 ended. Sainsbury June 2017 fixed is cheapest by £8 per month / £100 per year. I used MSE CEC to tell me this using kWh usage.

Hi, all. It has been a very long time since I've been here, and I hope this is the correct place to put this. I searched online for the title of this thread. I didn't expect to see the prices they can go for - and on sites I am not familiar with, plus one result was for eBay, which I'd prefer not to buy such a thing from.…

switching supplier
Every now and again I get close to changing energy provider and there is no doubt I should. It's usually those terms and conditions that make me pause. My gas and electricity meters are probably more than twenty years old and it seems at least one provider wants to make me responsible for their condition on signing up but…

Can't Escape Previous Gas Supplier
Hello Energy Forum, hope you can help me: Feb 2016: I used USwitch to instigate a change of dual gas and electricity supplier from Co-Operative Energy to First Utility. Various objections about the switch were raised by the Co-Op, including one raised because I still had £0.00 left to pay on their account! In the end it…

Broken leccy meter
Hi all. I had a visit from the meter reader today and my leccy meter is just flashing a load of symbols - this happened once before about 2 years ago but after a few weeks it came back on (albeit having not measured usage for the period it wasn't working - as far as I could tell).

Npower ignoring request to reissue cheque
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with this, as npower have been completely unhelpful! I received a cheque a few months ago now from npower, but it was in my maiden name.
