Switching charge

I've just switched my gas and electric to a single supplier. My final electric bill arrived today from scottish power manweb and I find they have charged me £60-00 for cancelling. Is this correct?

    its not something i have heard of

    unless u got a special offer to stay with them for a certain period e.g. cashback/reduced rates?

    or perhaps they carried out some work for you like a meter exchange? which they can then charge you for if u move supplier within a certain time

    u need to find out exactly why they are charging you - doesnt seem fair to me

    Incidentally who did you go with? I am with Scottish power and there priecs are going up, not only that but I pay a lot more the last bill than what I expected and they consequently are putting up my DD.

    No longer a user, goodbye folks. PLEASE delete my account. Thank you
