What have they done !! Eon FOL 8 (and many other current tariffs) not showing so a true comparison not available. I wish these people would engage their brains before changing something that works :mad:

    All you need to do is enter your yearly consumption in kWs then pick the cheapest.

    If you want to know how much more it will be from last year subtract last year's bill from the new bill.

    I never put my present tariff in I just use the default.

    I get the same answer every time.

    I know what to do but the site used to work fine until they messed around with it, why do companies try to fix something that isn't broken. More of a vent about stupidity than a real problem.

    Just tried energyhelpline .......... confused, it shows a saving ? I think it means a saving against what I will be put on when my current offer ends, it shows my current bill at about £200 more than it really is. Why do they have to complicate things. Now to try another site :(

    edit. figured out how to work it, why can't it be on the front page !!

    the saving will be a minus figure -£200 means you will pay £200 more.

    Hi,

    Sorry to hear you haven't had the experience you wanted. E.ON Fix Online 8 isn't available to switch to anymore, so it won't show on our results tables, but you can still compare against the tariff if that's the one you're on now. I've double-checked the comparison tool and it's on there. (I've uploaded an image to show it here - http://!!!!!!/i/c7nh.

    We haven't made any changes to the website recently, but we do take all feedback onboard, so if you want to, please drop me an email at the address in my profile with details about what you don't like.

    Thanks

    Certainly don't get that option on mine, if I select "same supplier" FOL8 is not in the list. I also do not get the option of "Fixed Monthly Direct Debit" just "Monthly Direct Debit" The webpage is completely different to what I was using last week so something has happened somewhere :(

    edit ..... Getting old normal page in IE8 but different style in FF3.6

    I've been having play around with it and I can see the same error as you now. Thanks so much for flagging this up - we'll get to work on fixing it.
