I switched power on Uswitch last week, because Eon were putting up my bills by another £10 a month. Meaning £840 per year

I did a search and found scottish power could do it for £692, so i thought great happy days, i changed over but got a letter yesterday from scottish power saying thanks for joining your monthly bill will be £66!!!! Meaning £792 per year.

I checked again on Uswitch to make sure i hadnt got it wrong, and i hadnt, granted the same plan had gone up to £707 per year this week but thats stil £85 per year less than what they are proposing.

Has anyone else had this, im really mad and wont be using scottish power if they charge me this amount. :mad:

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper Combo Breaker
    Did you sign up to SP's Energy reward tariff.
    If so as part of that tariff £105 will be credited to your account in June 2011. This is not taken into account when they work out your DD's, so effectively your monthly payments will be £105 too great after 1 year but they will then credit back to you.
    You are really giving them a loan.

    No didnt sign up to this, however i have just rung them and i have renegotiated the price to what it should be now. They said the details entered into uswitch were wrong (which they werent) but alls well that ends well. I should be getting £70 cash back as well :)
