Cheap Energy Club - switching problem
I attempted to switch to British Gas from Octopus via Cheap Energy Club.
Unfortunately, I was switching dual fuel and wanted dual fuel but British Gas were unable to provide gas due to my meter being "incompatible", they attempted to continue with the energy switch regardless. I contacted British Gas and requested the switch to be cancelled, which they did but the electricity did not initially appear back on my Octopus account. After contacting Octopus they did re attach my energy to my account.
However I am unable to look at switching from Octopus via cheap energy club now because, 6 weeks after a reversed my switch, it still says it is in the process of switching.
Does anyone know any way I can get this changed so that I am free to switch again?

I'm not sure what an "incompatible" gas meter is, exactly, particularly if Octopus are already supplying via it.
