cheap energy club - hides best deals??
Just read the article on BBC's news site titled
Switching sites hiding best energy deals, claims rival
does the cheap energy club do this - miss out the best deals to get more commission?
I used the site last week to compare and switch, and my memory seems to think that after using the MSE site, when I eventually then went to switch it took me to a 'compare the market' site or something else along those lines...... am I wrong?
If I'm not wrong and the site DOES go from mse/cheap energy club to a different compare site, does that mean I've had other deals hidden?
I have no idea about energy, very new to renting homes so not sure what is a lot or a little to pay, apparently switching from SSE to OVO will save us £38 a month...

You just log in, click on the 'get an up to date comparison' box (after checking your details such as energy use and existing tariff details are up to date) and all tariffs should show.I came, I saw, I melted0 -

No worries:beer:
It was a reasonable question to ask. There is now an MSE news story on this
