If you were thinking of one of their products do it now

Looks like you are right - just looked at my daughter's account for her - and her new Saveonline v5 rates are shown as effective from 13th Sept 2011 !!!

Compared with her current Saveonline v5 rates that gives:-

Electricity tier 1 +5.6%,tier 2 +7.4%
Gas tier 1 +20.3%, tier 2 +19.9%

Well, it's only summer, so the increase won't hurt yet.


Come on, FixOnline 10, give me a good Christmas.

Please come out on 1st November 2011, coinciding with my quarterly bill.

Please be fixed till 1st May 2013, so I will be covered for two winters.

Please be low again like FixOnline 8.

Amen.


P.S. Would it help if I sacrificed a goat?

She COULD switch to Saveonline v9 which is cheaper than the NEW Saveonline v5 rates.......but does it include an increase?? (She doesn't want a fix at the mo' cos she might move house)

There is no Save Online 9 at the mo only Save Online 8 and I'm seeing nothing in the press re an eon increase at this time

ERR...Sorry Mike ..but this is taken from her EON account pages !! Saveonline v9 is shown as a tariff she can switch to, and the date and the new rates for Saveonline v5 are there as well!!:eek:

They are now quoting the Save Online 9 prices if you check E-On's switching service. (Last on the list for me)

I am currently on Save Online 3 and there is no clarity about what will happen at the end of the contract which falls after the price increase date.

I am on exactly the same product as you (Save Oline 3) which ends 1 November 2011. Save Online 9 is there to choose as the last option but what is the drawback of the E.ON Fixed Price October 2013? I'm also offered Age UK Fixed Price Octoner 2013 which says prices are fixed as at 13 Sep 11 but gives the prices as lower than the E.ON Fixed Price October 2013.

I've only just started looking at this and am confused!! Any advice?

EDIT : I just rang E.On and it seems that although Save Online 9 is cheaper that this moment but after the imminent price rise it won't be. I have switched to the Age UK Fixed Price October 2013 (even though I am not a pensioner) as this was working out based on current usage at £42 per year over my current bill as opposed to £69 on E.ON Fixed Price October 2013. No cancellation fee was applied and none will be to come off this tariff. I asked what it meant on the Age UK one when it said that prices were fixed as at 13 Sept 2011 and she said the prices were fixed at what she told me today i.e.

Electricity
Normal units up to 900 kWhs per year 22.638 pence
Normal units 14.7105 pence per kWh

Gas
Normal units up to 2680 kWhs per year 8.41575 pence
Normal units 3.81885 pence per kWh

If anyone thinks I have been misled please let me know!! :-)

Apologies I have now brought myself up to speed, you take a coupla days off work and look what happens!!

on the e-on swap pages save online 5 is showing the 13/9/11 increases but save online 9 is not showing the increases. After 13/9/11 save online 9 will still be more expensive than save online 5.

Just confirmed this with e-on apparently they are "trying to catch up now" My advice would be wait for a few days for the information on e-on and comparison sites to change.
