Scottish Power To British Gas?

msampson

hi folks,

hope someone can help me as i am wishing to transfer form the scottish power standard online tarrif for my electric which i have been a customer with since november 2008, i wish to move to british gas wesbaver1 tarrif. my account has always been up tp date and in credit and i pay by direct debit with no outastanding debt.

is there any minimum time period i have to stay with scottish power or is it the usual 30 days minimum period of time you must with scottish power before you can ask transfer away to another supplier?

cheers for any help,

...but to answer the question asked, no, there is no minimum period other than the one month's notice you mention (and, of course, you can apply for a transfer on day one). On some tariffs there may be a cancellation charge (between £25 and £70 per fuel) but there are none on the standard online tariffs.

(Note that British Gas have (re)commenced paying a £70 cashback for a dual fuel switch so if you do decide to choose them make sure you switch using a cashback site and not a comparison site.)

If you are making the move anyway, go through a cashback site like Quidco, cashbackkings, topcashback etc as there's currently £35 cashback available for a single fuel switch (£70 for a dual)....every little helps.

thanks and yes i used quido for the cashback but i only have electric with no gas!

cheers,

Still, £35 in your pocket is better than £35 in the pocket of the comparison site owner.
