Switching sites

Hi im currently trying to switch my gas and electric and have used 4 comparison sites today. I put exactly the same info in and used the total annual Kwh usage in to each site and told all 4 sites i want to see fixed plans only. Each site brought up the same provider and the exact same plan up but the difference in cost is astonishing the most i could save was £457 and the least £118. Not one of the sites showed me the same amount for the same plan with the same company! Why is this? Im worried about switching now as this appears to be a scam! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Oh and how do i join a cheap energy club? Thanks

    What data were you inputting?
    And what sites were you using?
    And what was the annual costs you were presented with from each?

    They should of course all come up with the same cost. Sometimes an error may occur, but to get all 4 sites coming up with 4 different costs suggests operator error to me.

    But give us all the details and I'm sure someone will take a look for you.
