British gas cancellation charges
Hi there,
Made the god awful choice of deciding to move back to BG on a duel fuel a few months ago. After approx 14 days, EDF got in touch and made a better off to remain with them. Now I am back with EDF, but BG are requesting a £60 cancellation (£30 for the gas account and £30 for the elec), plus the one month's service that they have provided.
My question being, has anyone been able to get away with paying this ridiculous charge?
Many thanks Andy

Why is the charge ridiculous? You knew it was due when you chose to switch again. Clearly this sum was included in your calculations when considering to switch to EDF.
If you don't want cancellation charges don't sign up for tariffs that have them.0 -
It's a ETC for breaking the minimum term contract that you agreed to when you signed up.No free lunch, and no free laptop
