  • Call me selfish but my only concern is me not being out of pocket!
  • That's my concern too. So I'll keep my money until the SoLR asks for it.

  • From Octopus web site (as above):

    Within 14 days

    We expect to have most accounts reviewed, transferred, and operating properly.

    Well, they don't seem to be letting the grass grow under their feet.

    Octopus.
    Didn`t see that one coming.
    @ Telegraph-Sam will be pleased.
  • I doubt Octopus will be over the moon at having the Avro shambles dumped on them and I suspect that somewhere along the line there will be a hit for all Octopus customers to bear whatever spin the PR people put on it.

    Anything collected now on your old DD is going to the SoLR not Avro.

    …. and with the volume of customers involved it will just be a bulk data ingestion exercise, they will not be doing any initial selection based on the lack of a DD

    Likely lack of cheap deals going forward within industry, most ex Avro customers will probably stay with Octopus for forseeable future
    "The move will allow Octopus to recoup all costs incurred, including buying energy for customers of the failed supplier via an industry levy that ultimately falls on consumer bills"

    I wonder how the SoLR is decided and do they have a choice?
