Cancel switch within cooling off period

bumpercars99

I'm coming to the end of my uswitch collective tariff with Eon and am in the switching window. I did a couple of comparisons and annoyingly the cheapest for me is Scottish Power who I just resolved a billing dispute with dating back to 2015 so I won't be going back there while that's so fresh in my memory.

Then I had an Eon tariff which I'm ineligible for, so I decided to switch to a Sainsbury tariff that was next best.

However, I've now seen some people on the forum talking about an SSE deal on energy helpline that's equal to the Eon deal and I want that one instead.

I'm within my cooling off period for my first switch application and wanted to check nothing bad is likely to happen with my accounts if I cancel it. I can't face another billing dispute especially over £40!!

As an aside, are there any other sites I should be checking for exclusive deals before I make the same mistake again? Having to compare between comparison sites seems a tad ridiculous, thought I had that routine down to once a year for the car insurance.

Any advice would be appreciated.

The cooling off period is designed to allow you to change your mind

If you cancel the switch within your cooling off period, then the switch should not go ahead. In any event, you will not owe that new supplier any money
