OVO - Will They Negotiate?

I'm currently with OVO, but my fixed rate will expire soon. They've offered me a new fixed rate deal which would mean an increase of about 10% in cost. If I were to move elsewhere I could get that down to about a 4% increase along with a bit of cashback.

Does anybody know if they'll ever try and negotiate a deal if you give them a call? I'm guessing that as they're such a small company they probably won't have any 'hidden tariffs' that they can offer?

Thanks
Stompa

    You can try, but even a small player like Ovo have to use a Computer for billing so the chances of a 'Special' adjustment for your bills will be nil.

    You've done the Switch homework, so why not use it

    Yes, I probably will. I just wanted to check whether a deal was a possibility, as it would be less hassle. And apart from the forthcoming hike in price I've found them to be one of the better companies to deal with.
