Changing energy supplier twice in 2 months
Hi,
I recently swapped energy supplier to save some money (British Gas to Tonik). Now i have compared again and it seems a different company has popped up in the results and i could save a small fortune.
I switched on the 7th November 2017. There are no cancellation fees and no contract as far as i can tell (one of the reasons I picked Tonik).
However, will it negatively effect me? Is it likely the new supplier would decline me if/when they see i only switched recently? Will it affect my credit score?

Im intrigued as to why you shopped around , quite happy you had found the best, why did you then compare again....make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
You can switch until the cows come home if you want, just bear in mind it can take up to six weeks to complete a switch though this is coming down and there may be exit fees to consider.
Most providers don't do credit checks when you switch around, with the probable exception of one or two of the big six. There was a list on MSE.0
