British Gas admin charge

freya18th

My brother inlaw is in the middle for changing suppliers from british gas to powergen and as had a letter from them saying that he will have to pay £45 admin charges.Is this right and he does not know if it will charge this price for both gas and elec.

well if he phones up and asks I am sure they will be able to tell him whether it is for each or in total or whether it is just one not the other they charge for

i haven't heard of this before though does it actually say admin charge? It's not a charge for leaving part way through any sort of contract or agreed period?

They do not charge an admin charge if you are on their variable rate. However, if he was on price protection 2007, 2009 or 2010 he will have been charged. However he will have saved far more than £45 since he was registered on the capped tariff, as they have all been much cheaper then BG's standard rate.
