Well I've started Leccy switch away from Octopus to Usio - about £30 more pa than Iresa but £130 pa cheaper than OctoP .
OFTM and Enstroga were cheaper but don't like the OFTM model and put off by comments on difficulties of others in getting quotes from Enstroga -suspect they are snowed under!!

I'm still waiting mine. I don't even have a balance on my account. It's as if it's a completely new account.
Oh well.

Got my bill. It seems to be reasonable, based on readings I had given them.
Shame .... Gonna miss the cheap energy! (even if the service was rubbish)

Can I just ask a silly question, why have they produced final bills for 1 May to 1 August when we have already had bills for May & June?

Not a silly question, I wondered the same. I have to presume that it is because they found errors in much of the Iresa billing and so decided to rerun it to 3 months back. As long as the debits and credits have been properly added, and the correct opening and closing balances used, there should be no problem: assuming you have kept your own records (which most of us probably have with Iresa, knowing that they were likely to fail). I've just received my final gas bill and all is correct, so I've accepted the transfer of my credit to Octopus.
Since YE have hiked their fixed tariff considerably, I'm probably going to take a punt on Eversmart: it can hardly be worse than Iresa-can it?

Both my final bill and May/June bills tie up exactly though I did submit a reading at the end of each month which probably helped. By my calculations it looks to be within a few quid (I just used an average calorific value so it will be out a bit).

Eversmart are cheapest for me too but I don't want a smart meter. Bulb are a little more expensive (and variable) but there's not a lot in it.

I was going to start switching to bulb later this week, but I read they may be raising their tariff in November.
I know we are free to move elsewhere, but something to be aware of

Thus far after numerous emails with Octopus I am no further forward then the first email when Octopus were appointed, I want to move supplier ASAP and I am stuck in limbo, am I the only one who hasn't heard anything? I was in Credit by over £34 with Iresa on August 1st, I stopped my DD and now I may go into Debit in early September, then Octopus will probably block my move, What a mess
