You start by reading this "Cheap Gas & Electricity: Find cheapest fix or normal, plus £30 cashback". You will find it at the top of the page,

Good on you - I recently left Eon for the same reason - billing errors on every bill, bad customer service, letter demanding money with no breakdown of useage etc I happended to be in M+S one day when a chap was signing people up. He took my name and address and current provider and that was it. I did have to take a final meter reading and post it off but nothing more. I didnt eevn pay the money outstanding with Eon and the switch still went ahead. I just waited to get a final bill from Eon and a welcome pack from M+S and it was all done. If I am honest I am unsure how M+S ( power is actually via southern electric ) compare cost wise but the customer service so far has been good, its easy to get through on the phone and I got some M+S vouchers for joining. They do a fixed term option and have a price freeze till August 2012.

Get your annual kwh consumption figures, put them into any accredited comp site, then switch using a cashback site-it takes 4-5 weeks. About 20 minutes work, dob done.
But remember to factor in any possible ETC"s from Eon.

You mean to say you switched and you don't even know if M&S are actually cheaper or not?

Without your accurate annual kWh readings no-one can help. It will be clearly shown on your bill, or call your supplier. Your electricity looks about right, but gas seems very low or a property with gas CH and DHW. UK average is around 16,500kWh.

Thanks, will try to get correct readings.

Or just go back a year on your bills and deduct the old reading from the new 12m apart-the result is your annual consumption.

Have got annual usage figures 7734 gas 3096 elec. was given these figures by eon so hope they are right,
will try a comparasion site again later. Any advice please.
