Cheap Energy Club using incorrect data
Has anyone else noticed this?
I put my details in months ago, and was told I was already on the cheapest deal, so I left it at that.
I thought I'd check again today, and got a bit suspicious as the total annual spend seemed quite low. So I did the calculations myself, using the data from the website, and my total spend came out at almost £200 higher.
I then went on another website (energyhelpline.com) and did the exact same comparison, using the same annual kWh usage, and it came out with the same total I arrived at manually.
So BEWARE - it turns out I'm not on the cheapest deal at all, and haven't been for months!
(For the record, my details are as follows: first utility, iSave everyday DFD dual fuel tariff, annual usage 1750 kWh electricity, 9900 kWh
gas, total annual spend £844 - and not £664 as the CED website says!)
