EDF blue price promise Feb 2016

Got an email from EDF informing me I am better off with Blue promise June 2016. I have tried to switch but unable to as website seems to be always unavailable. Anybody on this tariff? Thanks

When they send these e-mails their website does seem to crash with too many people on it. Try again later when it's quieter. I did switch recently okay but can't remember which tarrif I switched onto

The Blue+Price Promise July 2016 is currently the cheapest for a standard meter. Go to https://www.edfenergy.com/til and compare your current rates with the new one, or alternativly wait until 'MyAccount' is up and running again and compare that way.

I switched in January to the June 2016 Blue Promise. EDF recalculated our monthly payments from £114 down to £96.

Barely got to the end of March before we are hugely in 'debit' therefore they're now saying our monthly payments should increase to £120!

They boast about using numerous criteria to determine estimated annual usage (we've been with them several years so they must have a great idea of what we use), so it seems to me they 'underestimated' to temporarily decrease payments as an eye catching hook.

I've said NO, they can increase to £110 & wait longer to claw back the debit. Just seeing what will happen now, I can pay the £120 they've asked for but resent their way off the mark decrease.

Been with EDF for years and they send regular emails about where I can save. The latest being Blue and Price 2016. However, they still want a lot more monthly than I'm paying now. (£14 a mth more!!)
MSE energy club is saying that I can save £206 a year by switching to NPower! Saving £17 a mth....That is based on figures for my 'projected annual usage' today provided by EDF.
I'm tempted, even though I cant fault EDF customer service and easy to understand billing etc.

That makes no sense. The unit prices don't change by modifying a DD, and only a fool would use the DD amount to judge whether a tariff was any good.

The unit prices/standing charge are all that matter, ignore DD amounts.
