    I was looking forward to this one as my last big switch is ending.
    However I am moving house march/april.

    I has stated the process and got caught out with th T's and C's.

    MSE site say you CAN take it with you when you move house.
    "- If you move home you can take it with you"

    The CEC site states it is NOT portable.
    "and it's not portable so you can't take it with you if you move house."

    Does anyone know which it is please or how best to proceed [choose another!]
    Cheers Andy


    I'm in a similar situation. Does anyone know the answer

    Hi

    The collective switch for low users is very poor, and I'd strongly advise only looking at the projected savings to be very wary.

    In my case, I am a very low gas user, so my current Sainsbury's Energy with a 10.50 a day standing charge works out well. The claim is that I will be better off switching to British Gas with a 18.900p per day. Well those figures do not stack up and the savings are imaginary and outright nonsense! For low users the standing charge cost is much more important that the price per kwh.

    I am aware these calculations use Ofgen guidelines - in that case, the calculations are not fit for purpose. I would be far better switching my gas to Daligas or Ebico.

    I have just switched from the BG collective switch to the BG 2017 collective. Will save around £120
    So no complaints from me.

    Check your savings as they well be inflated.

    Proxy Error

    The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
    The proxy server could not handle the request GET /energy/resultsall.

    Reason: Error reading from remote server

    CEC site appears to be down at present, I can log in (eventually) but not possible to edit anything.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Hi there - if you drop us a note over to energyclub@moneysavingexpert.com we can fix this for you.

    Thanks

    Thanks Dan for updating my account. Will try the CEC website later as it seems to be buckling under the pressure this morning and the start page is just timing out for me.

    The site is really busy right now, so not running quite as quickly as we'd like. Our techies are on it and looking at how we can make things go more smoothly.

    Thanks

    Thanks for flagging this - this has been amended. The British Gas tariff definitely IS portable. You'd initially go onto a deemed contract with the previous owner's supplier, but can arrange to be moved onto this tariff by British Gas.

    Hope that clears things up.
