Charged exit fees by Outfox Energy even though within the 50-day period in their terms
Recently changed from Outfox Energy as they were no longer the cheapest. Their terms state they have a 50-day window to change without fees at the end of the fixed period. So I moved around 43 days before the fixed term ended. Two weeks later I get their final bill and they have added exit fees. Sounds like they are trying…

Cheap Energy Club Not Showing My Tariff
Cheap Energy Club is not showing my current tariff so I cannot get a comparison. I am on the Fuse - 'Dec Single Rate Fixed (13m) v5', but Cheap Energy Club only shows the 'January 2026 Fixed (12m) v2'. It is not important right now, but I do like to see if I could be saving money, especially when the new Price Cap comes…

Another Stupid Octopus Bill
Octopus is supposed to bill once a month, on the 1st, so that each bill covers import and export for the preceding calendar month. That's what they're supposed to do and every time it's been mentioned they have assured me that it's what they will do. Unfortunately they can't seem to stick to this, and are forever sending…

Although I was notified there was an issue with SP's internal systems and they couldn't let me switch tariffs online or get the cheap weekend deal there was no doubt they could access the new meter.
