Leaving current supplier - exit fees

FlyingDodo

I am currently with e-on and my contract is due to end on 22nd August 2012, I've done a comparison and I'm better off going with scottish power, I've checked thru Quidco too and if I switch within the next 5 days I'll earn £55 cashback, but as my contract doesnt end until 22nd will I be charged the exit fees (£60) if I apply to go now!? As it usually takes a few weeks to switch anyway! Thanks in advance.

You won't be charged the 'visible' exit fees but as it's E.on you could be charged the 'invisible' never ending exit fee whereby they don't grant any discount on your final bill. I think this depends on the tariff you are on?

Hiya FlyingDodo,

My colleague Malc had a similar question just the other day, so have a look at his response here about timing a switch.

As MillicentBystander has said, we don't apply discounts to final bills.

If you need any more info from me just ask.

Thanks
