Anyone with First:Utility / Switched from a big supplier
Hi guys...
I'm with EDF at present on their Fixed 2014 tariff, it expires March 2014. I am conscious that prices are rocketing and have done a quick USwitch search, it says the most competitive deal now is with First:Utility, but will cost me an extra £50 per year against the EDF tariff.
I have no tie in with EDF anymore, so can leave, bearing in mind I have 5 months left I am in a quandary whether to switch now or wait until next March. The fix with First:Utility expires May 2015 and you are tied un up until then...
On the EDF page I do have an option to switch to one of their fix deals, but for some reason it is not shown at all on USwitch?
Any advice appreciated... Thanks.

I tried to but EDF didn't come up in the search results at all, made me think they are too expensive.Mortgage Free Wannabe Light Bulb Moment (Early 2012, started May 2012)

Tried switching to First Utility and fixing to May 2015. Received an email this morning saying my application is on hold because I'm either not on the electoral roll or I have not supplied previous address. I am on the electoral roll at this address and have been for well over the minimum years.
I think they just want £300 deposit from me regardless.
They can stuff that.0
