Switch Electricity

How soon can you start a switching process?
I am on npower Sign Online 23 Electricity / Monthly Fixed Direct Debit and although I have only been on it for 6 months I think this stops on 6th November. I am thinking of fixing with EDF. With EDF saying they are putting up their prices in December can I still get EDF deal if I start switching now and can I dictate to EDF not to switch till 6th Nov so I dont have to pay the cancellation fee with npower.
I wish the electric companies would simplyfy things.
I am on oil so dual fuel is not an option.
Regards
John

Plenty of views but no answers. Never mind. I bit the bullet and went for a Scottish Power option. Initially I asked them to hold of switching so as not to incur charges but following Martins comment on The Andrew Marrs Show this morning that this could go by next week I have asked if this could be changed to immediately. Fingers crossed. Even paying the cancellation fee should still mean cheaper leccy.0

It typically takes 4-6 weeks for any change of supplier to occur, so you won't incur any cancellation charges if your existing deal ends 06 Nov
Unfortunately, however, as you have not been on the tariff for 12 months, you will lose the £42 discount which probably attracted you to the tariff in the first place.
