Should I cancel my supplier switch quick?!

(think I just posted this in a wrong thread before....)

Hello,

I have just switched to Scottish Power (but have 7 days cooling of period). I am currently on British Gas and NPower standard tariffs so it seems I can save a bunch of money.

I have always avoided switching in the past as have not trusted the comparisons since I wasn't sure about my energy consumption for them to be accurate. However I now have actual annual KWH uses so am happy regarding the comparisons.

The comparison sites seem to all say about the same.

I couldn't decide between Scottish Power which would save me £360 (Online Energy Saver 11) per year for dual fuel and £301 for EDF (OnlineSaver7).

EDF are also offering £100 for new customers signing up in November which means the saving would be £401 which is better than Scottish Power overall so maybe I made a mistake choosing the Scottish Power Switch?

I have now seen that if I use the topcashback site as discussed here I can get an extra £80.80 for EDF and £62.62 for Scottish Power!

Can someone confirm that if I get the £80.80 from topcashback I still get the £100 EDF are offering at the moment?

If so then taking the above into account the total saving through cashback would be:
EDF: £481.80
Scottish Power: £422.62

At the moment the switch I have chosen will save me £375.

Have I undertood all this correctly?
If so I think I need to cancel the switch quickly (I have been told I have 7 days cooling off) and do one of the above?

Are EDF and Scottish Power both similar in terms of satisfacion etc?

From the above SP has the lowest Tariff, but EDF the biggest overall saving for the year.

Thanks in advance - I am new to this soo just wanted some feedback.

Hi,

I just switched to EDF and you do indeed get £100 from EDF AND £80 from Topcashback. EDF have 5 star ratings for customer services. Go for it :money::beer::rotfl:

I can also confirm that you do get the two discounts when changing to EDF. One difference between the two is that SP tie you in until the end of October and EDF till the end of December. This means in effect that unless you pay the get out charge, you will be with EDF through next winter too. Not necessarily a deal breaker but something to consider. As it is, I'm changing to EDF too.

I just left EDF as they switched me to their standard tariff with less than a weeks notice. Cost me a fortune in the weeks waiting for a switch to E.ON. Would never go back to EDF again purely on that basis.

Hi thanks for the replies.

It's encouraging to know the cashback paid out.

I have cancelled and go with TopCashBack.

(Probably with EDF but will consider points made above)
