Scottish Power - SVR cheaper than renewal?
Good evening all, Just found a peculiarity with Scottish Power, in that my gas/electricity is coming for renewal very soon (I will be shopping around), but the SVR is coming in at £2/month cheaper for a 1 year fix and £5/month cheaper than a 2 year fix. Sorry if this is normal, but this just seems weird situation to me.
