Hi
I tried to switch energy supplier today, but the site wouldn't let me proceed because I couldn't/wouldn't give a valid second phone number. Also, it asked for the principal account holder, and wouldn't allow me to enter joint account holders details.
I don't think either question is fair, or framed properly, and I think they should be modified. Currently, because of the answers that are expected, I can't switch supplioers because I can't answer all the questions, which seems to negate the whole point of the exercise.
What do you think?

Hi arwvet
Which site were you using to switch?
Was it a directly via an energy supplier, via a comparison site or through the Cheap Energy Club?

Thanks for your response. It was through the cheap energy club, and the supplier was Flow Energy.0
