Bulb to follow Avro, but with triple the number of customers forced into higher bills and to who knows which supplier.

Highly unlikely they would be able to place the customers with a SoLR, odds are this would be an extended period of administration under Teneo acting as the 'Special Administrator', while they figure out how to parcel it up.

I'll go through the previous comments as well but I was wondering what you people did since Avro went busted?

I left my DD running and Avro kept taking the monthly payment.

The switch to Octopus will be completed next week so should I setup a DD with them as well so they can start taking payments from November or December?

What about tarrif? They've put us on Flexible Avro, apparently a great-value variable tariff.
Prices (including VAT) are:

• A standing charge of 24.86p per day and 20.99p/kWh for your electricity.
• A standing charge of 26.11p per day and 4.13p/kWh for your gas.

Is it worth having a look for a cheaper tarrif with either Octopus or a different supplier? If we move to a different supplier will take a while and I'm not sure what's the benefit considering the current market.

Thanks

I cancelled my DD with Avro as soon as I heard they had gone bust, it's going to take quite a while by the looks of it before any credits or DD payments you have made will be transferred over to Octopus, I would cancel your DD with Avro, set new one up with Octopus and just keep your usual payments aside in your bank account until Octopus are ready to start collecting them

As you might know, MSE's advice is to do nothing - stay on the Flexible Avro until April. Most agree that's good advice.

This thread seems a bit extinct now Avro`s gone under.
It might be easier to keep up with events regarding the switch to Octopus if we all post on this thread.

Makes sense. I was wondering when this thread would die. Thanks for the link.
