MSE CEC emailed me yesterday to say that there isn't a cheaper deal than my Outfox The Market Fix'd 20 9.0!😂

That's the sort of brainless email that triggers me to filter such organisations to spam.  Surely the sole purpose of a money saving website is to alert you when it can save you money, not when it can't??  That said, CEC's useless anyway so I only log in every year or so just to confirm it's still useless.  It doesn't know either of the tariffs I'm currently on, so cannot perform as a comparison site for me.

Talldave, I signed up to receive monthly personalised energy alert emails because it's free, so nothing to lose, but Outfox The Market are constantly cheap! I thought all tariffs have to be shown on comparison websites, when searching whole of market, either by default like MSE or by clicking through to suppliers that don't pay commission?

Easy switch on time. All working fine

TheEnergyShop.com is another comparison website where Outfox The Market isn't even listed as a UK provider, making TheEnergyShop.com cheats and liars, despite them being fully accredited by Ofgem!

Nope !

In its infinite wisdom Ofgem has withdrawn this requirement and banned use of the term 'Whole of the Market' by Confidence Code websites.

Ofgem allowed accredited comparison sites to hide suppliers that don't pay them commission, but now they can omit them completely.

So comparison websites can omit the cheapest provider? Ofgem are useless!👎

Caveat emptor!

At the weekend I emailed Quotezone and TheEnergyShop.com to complain that Outfox The Market isn't even listed as a UK provider, despite both claiming to have searched all domestic UK energy providers, Quotezone replied that Outfox The Market have not sent them details of their energy tariffs and TheEnergyShop.com failed to reply at all! Who believes that Outfox The Market have not sent all comparison websites details of their energy tariffs?

Since my heads-up post on 29 April, Outfox The Market have now withdrawn their Fix'd 20 11.0, to be replaced by an even more expensive Fix'd 20 12.0, but it's still the cheapest tariff for most!

Clif

Outfox The Market have now reinstated their Fix'd 20 11.0!😂
