    I guess that the poster is trying to put a positive spin on media reports about PP’s future. The last thing that they need is a mass exodus of customers. 
    Alternatively, a mass exodus of customers is one thing that would save them; they can sell the energy they hedged earlier in the year at the current price instead. (Compare with Omni who were caught switching high-usage customers away to other suppliers.)

    Seems strange that we had a meter reader visit a couple of weeks ago for the first time but his Gas reading was ignored and his electric reading accepted.  Prior to this I received an enormous increase on my fuel bill with an extra charge added on until April next year.  PP have also contacted us to say their smart meter installer will be making contact shortly to arrange the installation of smart meters.  Looks like PP are trying to grab as much cash as possible before going bust.

    I doubt you'll be hearing from the meter installer now!
  • Feel very glad I decided to take the £30 exit fee and switch to a decent 2 year fix from a big supplier only a couple pence above the cap a couple weeks ago. My supply officially switches over tomorrow and I feel I've dodged a bullet lol

    Hmmm... well this doesn't sound too encouraging. Having previously read the hedging comment, and being aware of the BP backing, I had hoped PP had some chance of surviving but this news suggests I'll be joining the club of those being swapped to a SOLR tariff at the price cap :-(.
