I am interested in switching, but remember when I did this a few years back, I was told there were problems with the switch as the gas main to this estate is owned by a private company and not owned by British Gas.

Has anyone-else any experience of this type of problem please?

Presumably what you really mean is that you are supplied via an Independent Gas Transporter (IGT)

All the big 6 suppliers will definitely supply you (I think nPower may add a tenner to your annual cost). Eon definitely will and it has already been confirmed there is no additional charge for IGT customers switching to this MSE collective tariff

If interested, you need to check with the smaller suppliers if they will accept you ... and at what additional price, if any.

Hi,
I just tried to switching my Mum to EON. The Energy Club system garbled her address in the transfer process so EON have now cancelled the switch. (The address was so garbled EON reckoned they were about to switch her neighbour!) Her Cheap Energy Club account has the correct address but still says 'switch in progress'. Her address is a little odd so even if her energy club account allows me to reapply won't the same thing happen again?

I have emailed the energyclub address twice but have yet to receive a reply.

What can I do?

Thanks,
Richard.

Either wait and possibly miss out, or do it all again, with a different email address.

Whether the same happens again, you'll need to find out. But the details should, in theory, be passed over to Eon exactly as you input them.

I know, but it should be possible to see a transparent accounting of all transactions on the account - every credit, debit etc. - at any time.

My last two suppliers (eon and ScottishPower) offered it, and I found it very useful when tracking usage and keeping an eye on direct debit amounts, as well as extra credits such as the Warm Home Discount.

Can I just ask, the energy club comparison says I can save £92 a year switching to Eon, but when I look at the price per kWh unit and standing charge per day, both are higher with Eon than with my current tarriff, so I don't see where these savings are coming from?

What's your current tariff?

I'm trying to switch to the E.On one year deal but the MoneySuperMarket website won't accept my bank details.

Comparison sites seem to assume you go to standard tariff when the fix expires, which might add £12 to £18 a month.

More realistic would be to also look at the best deal with your current supplier.

I've signed up for the switch to Eon but looking further into it, the Npower Nov'15 tariff is slightly better (£6/a) until the offer from Eon for duel fuel discount and paperless billing are applied, a total of £30, plus the £30 from MSE for switching.

So, for me, a £54.00/a saving but I understand that Npower have a new tariff available 10 Nov, if that works out better I will be cancelling the switch!

I did compare with my actual current tarriff not the standard tarriff, you can choose your specific tarriff on the energy club comparison. So i'm still confused as to how Eon can be cheaper when both their standing charge and price per unit seem to be higher than my current tarrif
