virgin/london energy

I have switched suppliers for gas/elec about 3 times this year. I switched from London to Powergen and then the price rises came so i switched to Virgin whom i found is the same as London energy. the hassle involved in switching all these times trying to keep up with giving readings etc was bad enough. Now I have a letter saying that if i pay a bit more a month i can guarentee the prices will be held until 2007. Why should i have to pay more.

Are they taking the p.

I am reluctant to keep switching with the hassle

    Like you I have switched Virgin - EDF - Scottish & Southern in last 12 months as the elec. companies play leep frog with prices :j .

    Could this be part of their strategy to make us get so fed up with hassle of switching that we just don't bother:wall: ?

    I think :think: I will treat it the same as my car/home insurance and every year compare prices and change if worthwhile.
