  • Email from PfP said: "If you took a meter reading on or around Friday 10th September, when accounts were transferred to British Gas, please enter this reading. If you did not make a note at the time, you can still enter readings taken today. "

    I have smart meters and readings were recorded at PfP until that date, so I'm not sending them any meter readings.

    Have you managed to switch? My first switch to NR was blocked and now I have tried again, but not heard anything for a few days. 
    No, but I didn't try again after the first attempt. I'll submit another reading to PfP & BG before the 12th and hope for the best.

    A little curiosity; yesterday I could see my final account with PfP, today I can't.

    The messages section on the website has been removed from my account again - although I couldn't see any statements since August I'm guessing this is related to the email sent by the administrators.

    Also, When selecting tariff details, it now gives the end date as 3 October (my switch to BG happened on 4 October)

    My one and only bill from PfP, (which was accurate), has now disappeared from my account display.  My PfP account is slowly dissolving away - brings to mind the scene from Back to the Future when Marty McFly's siblings fade out from the photo.

    Yes, mine's looking similar although I did download PDFs of all bills when the announcement of them going bust came out.

    I notice that the history of meter readings are still there though, and the opening readings I gave to Sainsbury's are there too so I suspect PFP are going to produce a final bill to cover the period from them ceasing trading on 7th Sep to Sainsbury's taking over from 3rd October (hence missing out British Gas entirely). This bill would put me around £5 in debt to them which is ideal really as it won't be a shock when it final appears and is also not a credit that I might need to chase.
  • My PfP account, which originally told me I was £39.99 in debit, now tells me a payment is due on 24/11 of £51.88. No mention of why or what it is. The BG account is set up as far as I can see, but has no actions on it.
