    Maybe they have thrown their dummy out of the pram after Consumer Focus showed Ofgem how to really deal with an errant energy company? :p Good riddance as far as I'm concerned.

    I imagine it will make absolutely zero difference. If they get bought by another one of the big six then all this means is less competition in the market place. If they get bought by a new entrant (eg GDF Suez) then they will retain all the same systems and procedures.

    It seems more likely that the big six will become 5, at the moment anyway

    I'm not convinced Iberdrola have the money actually, but let's wait and see.

    its going to be years away, co-op may like it
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    With so much negative goodwill showing on the balance sheet the bargain hunters could make a killing.:cool:
