I got a letter today about my switch that would be done on the 26th june and that my direct debit would be.. get ready £500+ a month and that the direct debit was all ready to go.

if i had not checked they would have tried to take iit. the lady told me that this is a issue with switching.

just a warning to people.

    Hi DelBoyPhil,

    Firstly, I’m sorry this has happened, glad you spotted it early. :j

    Did the lady you speak to say this was a known issue that was affecting many customers? This is a new one on me so a little more information would be useful for my benefit! :o

    Usually when first Direct Debit amounts that are claimed are the wrong amount, it is the result of entering the wrong details into a switch site, or the quote facility not functioning correctly.

    I’m intrigued, sorry I’ve nothing useful to say! :confused:

    Is it really. :huh: I switch around regularly,usage is low, previous switch to EON I was put on its then minimum monthly DD new customer rate of 40.00 ( My usage is less than that even in winter, I accepted the minimum as I was switching for the Cashback incentive) I always state my usage consistently, just had letter relating to this switch in stating EON will be collecting 150.00 a month which would appear to be some form of National average figure.

    Im already lined up to switch back out, so ill merely cancel the DD. :cool:
