Erroneous Transfer Stuck- What to do now?
Its a long story but supposed to be switching back to nPower from EDF as an Erroneous Transfer which happened in September last year.
I hadn't heard anything for a few weeks so eventually spoke to a customer services manager in December. He was actually quite helpful and said that something had got 'locked' somehow and they hadn't been able do anything for a while. It was however fixed and the transfer was in progress so should be switched within 28 days ie. early January.
On 22nd January I received a letter saying my transfer was underway and should be complete within 28 days.
Then on 22nd February I received exactly the same letter saying another 28 days!
What can I do next? I've lost count of the times I've phoned EDF and they apparently have no clue what's going on. All the while I'm stuck on a prepayment meter with the added cost and hassle associated with it.
Is it wise to try the other end and try contacting npower? Or will that just confuse things further? Is there a 'referee' who can get the wheels moving again?
TIA

Unless it is clear to you who is definitely responsible for the hold-up, I suggest you start the formal (written) complaints procedure with both companies. If the problem is not resolved within 8 weeks then you can refer the matter to the Energy Ombudsman who can also award compensation.

My moneys on the loosing supplierDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0
