    If the debt is less than £200 you can take it with you. It takes a bit longer, but it can be done.

    it does take a lot longer, it took us five months nda four attempts to get over to BG from SP. Also we are waiting for the debt to be reassigned and the meter to be reset. By the time they get around to doing that we should be in credit!! I would say that it is well worth it though to get away from SP

  • thanks for the advice (i would've thank you yesterday, but ironically, we had a power cut!) looks like i'll have to hang on for a bit before switching.
