Exit fees
Are exit fees sim9ky a penalty for switching? My understanding is that “Penalties in English law are contractual terms which are not enforceable in the courts because of their penal character.

If I switch now, I will incur a penalty of £50 from…

SSE to Bulb
I have made the switch and it should be complete on 24th June, therefore my question to those who have done similar is would I be better off cancelling my direct debit with SSE (due 1 July) and simply pay off the final bill in full?

Switching from nPower to Eversmart - one in arrears one in advance......
Has anyone switched from nPower to Eversmart recently - did I miss something fundamental in that nPower charges in arrears and Eversmart charges in advance, so effectively I've paid twice in my first changeover month - once to finish and once to start - is that right?
