hello

A couple of questions really
1.Have Eon put up there prices yet?

2, Have just been nosing the comparison sites I'm currently on paying cc quarterly I refuse to pay DD after two energy companies took money out of my account despite me ringing them in advance to stop payment causing unwanted hassle via the banks. I'm with Eon and British gas, and after trailing around it seems the comparisons site are saying I will save 200( ish) and when adding duel fuel to either BG or Eon, Eon comes off better than BG, and comparison npower a saving of 300 on the Energy fixed one year V5 I have been given various discount too ie loyalty etc..

When it says fixed, does it mean as they say FIXED, if I change today will any new price rises be inc in this tariff ( BT have a reputation of increasing while in contract )
Despite me giving them all my details that dreaded word estimate is on the page.

While I seem to have no problems in changing insurance companies and phone and internet companies, Energy ones cause me the most stress.

    Hi areia

    We've not increased our standard prices since 18 January 13.

    Our fixed products are contracted for 1 or 2 years. We guarantee not to change the unit prices (both the Standing Charge and kWh price) for the duration of the contract.

    If your usage changes, though, the amount you need to pay will also change.

    With us, once a customer agrees to a contract, this will be honoured regardless of any subsequent price change.

    Hope this helps.

    That's because telcoms contracts are not fixed price contracts (mobile or landline). They can increase prices any time they like. Fixed price energy contracts are just that-fixed kWh unit rates for the contract duration.
    You can expect Eon's variable rate tariffs to be increased within the next few weeks. since they're one of only two of the Big 6 not to have increased yet (and EDF have frozen prices until 1/1/14).
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
