    My brain is beginning to fry!!:rotfl:
    I think that this deal saves me ~ £34 pa vs EON v19 dual fuel that I've just switched to from USwitch collective - altho MSE BG deal is better, even with the £30 switch bonus the "savings" only just cover the £60 ETC (by about £15 pa) which isn't enuf to convince me to go back to BG.
    So (deep breath!) looks like a change of tariff AGAIN with EON!!!:)

    EDIT - This EHL EON deal is £422 cheaper than EON V20:eek:

    Seeing this made me put in the V20 for current tariff and the EHL EON came out £749 cheaper. (I'm actually on V19, so the savings aren't that much but still significant).
    Is EON giving up on ordinary customers and only going for collectives?

    What is even more fascinating is comparing this EHL offer with the EHL EON deal in the last collective switch - the gas is much cheaper (in my case by 0.8p per kwh) -but the leccy price is actually slightly higher (by 0.15p per kwh) - and appears to be creeping up ever higher with each "deal" thus accentuating the advantages of gas for heating!!

    Nothing there for me. I can make greater savings with publicly available tariffs. In most cases the tariffs in this collective are dearer than I am currently paying. A damp squib. I will now change my electric to the MSE E.On deal, pay £7 a year more for a 5 month extended end date, bag the £15 and come out £11 better off over the next 7 months ;)

    Do you know what electricity region you are? I know v19 was cheaper than MSE for many people but not here in SWEB (South West), but EHL's switch today is cheaper than MSE for me.

    Can anyone post a link to the energyhelpline collective deal? I can not seem to be able to locate it.
    Thanks

    It will be in the e-mail you received if you registered, it is only open to pre registered applicants.

    You can try http://www.greatbritishcollective.co.uk/ but it may not work for you - Ofgem rule changes mean that if you don't pre-register with a collective deal you shouldn't be able to sign up for it.

    Their website also says:
    In case you were unable to register prior to the 14th midnight or were not part of the subscribed list prior to midnight of 14th Feb then you will not be able to switch to the winter collective tariffs

    I pre-registered and can see the tariffs despite not having not followed any email links - so its possible you may see them but it may reject any transfer request.

    Thanks to both of you.

    I had pre-registered and got an e- Mail on Friday telling me that it would give the new tariffs today, but I had not received any further e-mail. Thus my question on here, and once again MSE posters came up trumps.

    NB Just received my e-mail with a link, patience was never my thing!

    Hmmm, I can see the tariff but didn't pre-register unfortunately. It would reduce my bills by ~7%, I wonder if it's worth a try?
