They seem to be a good supplier and I think i will take the plunge but can you pay by direct debit monthly

Yes by monthly DD or pay the whole lot 2 weeks after your bill arrives,by DD or just send a cheque.
Switch usually takes 6 weeks.

signed up to EbicO on 23rd august 2006, it took about 8 weeks to finalise, infact I got my final powergen bill at xmas, first gas bill was for £9.00 this was for 23/08/06-05/10/06 not bad, second gas bill from 06/10/06 - 28/12/06 £59.47p I also got £3.61p monthly direct debit discount, my first electric bill from 23/08/06- 28/12/06 £182.88 £11.11 monthly direct debit discount I think this is really good as last they where triple this with powergen

I am with them and they are fine, pay by direct debit. Npower were a trouble with their final bill - sent me a red letter threatening baliffs whan in fact they owed ME money :eek:

I'm with NPower, switching to EBico as I posted above. Who will the final meter reading be taken by? I know that it forms both the final and the first reading (obviously), but who actually takes it, NPower or EBico? The last time I changed suppliers was in my previous property, a while ago. The gas and electricity meters were read when I moved in, but never again, even when I changed suppliers and later when I moved out, six years later.

You give your readings to Ebico (they will send you details of how to).
Then an independent party takes a reading and Npower and Ebico take it from there and decide the final bill.

Pgen did the exact same to me saying I owed when in fact they owed me.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON ALL FINAL BILLS

Thanks for that. Hopefully I'll be enjoying less expensive gas/electricity very soon.

I've got to say, that although you've had bad experiences when switching from Powergen, when I did it (albeit 8 years ago), I received a refund cheque for £119, for my electricity out of the blue. This was for a token meter and all the readings were kept up to date by me and never checked officially at all. The unit rate hadn't changed either so I don't really understand this one.

Of course, I never questioned it :j

Nobody came and actually read my gas meter when I switched to Ebico. I just had to send in the meter reading on the day of the switch.
