EDF Online Saver 7 - Switching Timescale and Set Up.

I think there's a £60 exit fee BUT IIRC the rather brilliant backfoot got confirmation from their head legal honcho that the £100 'welcome to the madhouse' bonus won't be recharged if you leave?

Hi, when does the exit fee apply until? Just thinking ahead for my next switch and cash back

Gawd, I don't think I've got the strength to cope with another switch just yet.

But I'm moving to a new address next week (I didn't know I'd be moving when I applied for the switch to EDF at the end of November), and the supplier at my new address is British Gas... the company I switched away from in the first place! I spoke to a guy at EDF who said I'd have to end my Online Saver 7 contract, go back to British Gas when I move into my new address, then switch back to EDF again.

I could weep.

It does say in the MSE statement "Those on its fixed, capped or online tariffs won't be affected" so hopefully it will not go up ??

I genuinely don't know but, as a serial switcher, paying an exit fee never bothers me as long as I still make a healthy profit after cashback. It's just a matter of waiting for a killer cashback offer to come along, one usually crops up frequently.

Yes me too - I do my fair share of switching
Just had a look in the booklet and it says exit fee may be charged if you switch before Dec 31st 2011 so I will wait and see what else is on offer.

Well Looking at it EDF have already raised Elec Prices in Oct and now again so EDF's General average increase is higher than all other suppliers.

Gas - 6.5%
Elec - 10.1 % (2.6% Increase in Oct.)

Wouldn't it be great if they held V7's prices though as a sorry for the "problems" most of us are having.

The article does say online tariffs will not b affected... will call EDF tomorrow x

Good luck with calling them... I've waited 25 minutes to get through, only to be told that their "computer system needs rebooting" and someone will have to call me back.

LOL. Is this computer system a Sinclair Z81??
