Trapped by comparison sites

Do you not recommend this sites switching service?

No, because AFAIK it still doesn't show all suppliers.

Neon Reef was always missing (it only appeared in the last fortnight or so), and Avro comes and goes.  There are probably several others missing.

And it's now becoming more and more commercial, always steering you towards the tariffs that pay commission and making the cheap deals much harder to find.

@Farway  You can't just decide not to pay - you are stuck with LAMB and UP until such time you settle the outstanding bill as UP will block the switch.

Give us some readings, copies of bills (with your personal info blanked out) and monies paid and we will try to help.

Thanks for the offer. We are not big users at all (well I don't think so). Come winter months I don't mind topping up £5-10 pounds extra as I've done in the past, but these days the energy companies don't seem to allow that, they just want to put you on a higher payment and wont bend when you ask for that not to happen. And it's usually a lot more than it needs to be. A 72.5% rise seems like taking the mick.

Thank you for the reply. I have to admit I'm a bit shocked by that. I assumed the hype from MSE was real about this being the best service and passing on the benefits.

They're the wrong pages.  You need the ones with the meter readings.

Thanks for all the comments people.
The one question I need to ask after reading these messages:
Do you not recommend this sites switching service?

No.
Use Switch with Which or the Citzens advice comparison sites
They show ALL providers.

I use confused.com. they were one of the 1st comparison sites, and over the years they served me well and I get nectar points for using them. different to the old days where you just had to go with who ever the supplier was.
