exit fees for switching tariffs within same co?

davidgmmafan

The advice to read the T & C's is good but the reality is tedious. I have been doing just that for the last forty minutes or so looking at potentially cheaper tariffs. The upshot is I'm going to stay with my existing supplier on a new tariff, which is about £50 more expensive than the best deals, because I can't be bothered to read through everything else with a fine toothcomb.


Hardly supporting the switching agenda is it...

Try using http://switch.which.co.uk/

Its run by the Consumers Association - a registered charity. They are truly independent and you can trust their recommendations.

Their comparison results will tell you whether or not there are any exit fees, and also give you a customer rating for that supplier.

Ugh! The underlying implication in your helpful post is that other comparison sites are in some way flawed which isn't true. MSE CEC , and all the others, will give exactly the same comparison information but MSE CEC, unlike Which, also offers annual projected costs which do not use the OFGEM mandated inflated savings methodology. Which has never offered Cashback whereas sharing of the referral fee is a key part of the MSE CEC business model.
