TheBigQuestion_2

Scottish power may be able to offer the answer to these questions

In the PDF for the 2010 cap deal there is also the text below about further savings

Gas & Electricity Offer annual discount* of up to £16.80 (inc. VAT)
• Online Energy Service annual discount** of £5.25 (inc. VAT) for gas and £10.50 (inc. VAT) for electricity.

Are these automatic and what does UP TO mean as i get very suspicious when i see that and tend to thing rip off , you know the sales UP to 70% discount in shop windows, and when you going in there is one item with 70% off and the rest as a near normal price.
Generally what is the best point to have a standing charge vs non standing charge ???
and can i switch ??

I managed to work out the standing charge/ no standing charge options last year ( can`t for the life of me remember how now) but the difference was so small that it`s not worth bothering over.

Ok I have gone for it and signed up for EDF with Topcashback (£60)

I was assured by Scottish power customer services that as long as the change over date is after 31st August I wont have to pay the £50 - EDF seem to think it wont be till the end of September.

I shall refer scottish power to this thread and the comments by there rep if they do try to charge me.

The difference is MASSIVE - my direct debit will go from £94 to £74.

With regards to standing charge/no standing charge, I was lead to believe there is nothing in it, unless you have the property unoccupied over a long period of time, it which case you would select the no standing charge.

Be careful switching through Topcashback if you are depending on the £60 cashback. Looking at the comments, lots of people are saying it hasn't tracked for them.

Just checked - it has tracked - showing £60 pending so fingers crossed.

Do you need to opt out of the new capped SP deal as well as contacting EDF ?
