I have inside info all customers that signed up after 31/12/04 are on a price promise till 1/7/05. just because the letters had 1/3/05 as the date of the price change the call centre dont start selling the new prices till 4/4/05 so any customers that sign up before 3/4/05 will have the old prices and a price promise till 1/7/05

Are you suggesting that I'll get stung with higher charges after July? :eek:

Look at the prices I've been quoted - electricity@ 6.6680p/kWh and gas @1.5910p/kWh. They are neither as low as sergeant121's originals (5.2p/kWh and 1.515p/kWh) nor as high as the new figures quoted (6.52p/kWh and 1.65p/kWh)

Where do I stand?

Err?

I went through four comparison sites the other day - Atlantic appeared to be the 'best' as option as a duel fuel tarrif with direct debit on three of the four of them.

Well, thanks but... Is this the dual fuel rate? Shouldn't there be be a separate charge for the electricity and gas? Why are the prices I've seen quoted (to me) and to sergeant121 (and whatever you are quoting) so different?

I can see why people don't bother to switch. It sometimes appears that there is a conspiracy to confuse and contradict. :rolleyes:

The letter I received (dated 1 March) says the new prices are effective from 1 March. I thought they had to give you 28 days notice to increase prices?.
