I know its at red just now - but I felt I had to switch suppliers

EDF had started me out on £30 electric and £50 gas per month

I am now £50 and £170 respectively - and they say its my usage and not their prices !! Hard to swallow.

So after falling out BIG style with them and waiting and waiting for the red light to go - I felt I couldn't wait any longer and I decided to switch and have done so to Atlantic - saving over £500 - 20% a year.

my question is

is there a limit on how many times I switch?
If for instance in a few months I do another comparison and find another cheaper provider

Are there any pitfalls to this approach?
A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent,
the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.

    Technically you can switch as soon as the currrent transfer has gone through.

    Remember that if you owe your previous supplier, this will need to be paid off when the move goes through (wheres previously it would have been spread over the year as part of your fixed monthly payment). You can't carry your debt over to the cheaper supplier.
