One final query for you. If I go online and switch to another tariff, will I be liable for the £35 fee?

Hi

We have a number of these tariffs ending on the 1st October 2009, namely Price Protection 13 through 17, and Energy Saver.

If you wish to change tariff today to another E.ON tariff there would definitely be no charge applied.

I, too, am due to revert to the Price Protection R3 by default on 1 October but I'd rather revert to a variable rate instead. Should I wait until 1 October before I switch or if I change now will it stay fixed until the 1st before automatically moving to variable?

Hi db7,

You can change to any other E.ON tariff that is available at present, with out being charged a cancellation fee. :cool:

If you change the tariff today to a non fixed/capped tariff you will be subject to any price changes that may occur from this day forward.

So if you changed to the standard tariff today for example and there was a price increase tomorrow, you’re prices would increase.

If you remained on the Price Protection until the 1st October 2009 and there was an increase tomorrow the price would stay the same for you, but on the 1st when you change to our standard tariff (theoretically) that tariffs price will be higher.

So in effect you would be changing it on the 1st October 2009 but only delaying the theoretical price change by about 2 weeks.

Although two weeks is better than nothing!

Really the choice is yours, I don't see a price change happening, although they can spring from no where :eek:, the price you pay at present is likely to be cheaper than today's standard anyway due to the time you protected them, so the extra couple of weeks may be beneficial. Although you may choose to snap up the best possible deal you find now. Hope this clarifies.

Thanks for your swift response Brian. I'll hang on until the 1st then. I suppose I could switch to a variable E.on rate on the 1st and then shop around to see if I could get a better deal with another supplier?

Exactly, although even if you didn't change to a standard tariff (or better) and remained on the R1, R2 or R3, you could still change supplier and not have to pay a cancellation fee, as those tariffs don't have them.
