Scottish Power - time to move?

Burlesque_Babe

I've tarted across most of the companies over the last few years but have been with Scottish Power for a year now.

Sorting through paperwork today, I found a letter which says I am on 'Discounted Energy October 2009' with a 3% saving on gas/electric.

I'm paying £68 a month for both (2 bed bungalow) and wondered if anyone knew what this would convert to next month? Should I jump now? I usually go through quidco to move but have been stung in the past where I've been underquoted by companies.

As everybody says, don't try to do the comparison with £££s - get you actual usage in Kwh for gas and electric from your past 12 month's bills and use those figures on price comparison websites - there is then much less chance that you will be "stung" on estimated monthly quotes.
Also if you have only been paying £68 per month for the past year I would make sure your bills from SP have been based on actual meter readings not estimates; otherwise you might have a nasty shock in store for underestimation - remember last winter was very cold !!!!

I went onto their site and they said I would 'fit' the profile for Discounted July 2010.

£68 is correct - it's just me here and OH arrives late at night after work and I'm very frugal with the gas and electric. It was originally £34 and it shot up to £93 because I was underpaying. It is now £68 after clearing the underpay and I'm currently £155 in credit. I enter the readings regularly to make sure it doesn't go up again!!
