Hi,

I've heard that all suppliers have to give you 30 days warning of any price changes now. Have I heard right?
It's just that I keep reading posts about recent price changes/hikes.

Thanx,
Candy.

    The suppliers behind recent price hikes have all given notice in excess of 30 days.

    Well we are on standard tariffs, paying on receipt of quarterly bills with Eon and Npower.
    People are also talking about price changes coming in August, but we haven't had letters from either of our suppliers. Are these coming price changes to do with just online tariffs?

    Thanx

    This is because eon and npower have not announced a price increase yet. What the 30 day guarantee means, is that if any company announces a price increase, it will be at least 30 days before the prices actually rise
