I've done the same  (to BG Evolve on the Lidl deal) but I'm leaving the DD in place just in case.  I doubt it'll be actioned,  but if it is it can be claimed back from the bank.

Just checked the supplier database again & its now showing EDF as my supplier

Just hoping that will not interfere with the requested move to BG Evolve as I've read on this forum that apparently whichever supplier starts the transfer process first blocks the later transfer attempt

Im not sure if EDF appearing in the supplier database means the transfer process has started but it would seem logical that it does mean that

Just checked mine too, and EDF has appeared. That's happened in the last 24 hours. EDF would have to have a reason to object to the transfer, and with a credit balance there would be no reason - a debit balance might be different, though.

The database says EDF for me too. I had a look at comparison sites to find something cheaper but nothing doing. Scary to think that this is the cheapest. It's going to cost a fortune.

Same for me EDF now shown. My dd is due on the 1 October so it may be EDF claiming monies rather than UP. 
I was already to change to Daligas a few days ago and their rate was about 3.27 KW. Checked today and now they are showing a rate of 7.50kw.  Sorry if I seem a doom monger but I cannot see them lasting that much longer when the so called big 6 are a lot cheaper.

I just looked at outfox the market. They are offering me 7.762 for gas with a daily standing charge of 27.3. The big six are similar for new customers.

For me then EDF are the cheapest. Fortunately we now have installed log burners and have enough fuel to last us through the so called long hard Winter.

ANY deals?
Outfox website doesnt even work for new customers, they havent responded either to emails about signing up

who else is taking customers with a better deal than EDF?

Id like to make people aware of what I have decided to do and a deal that I have found. for those of you who are lidl plus customers they are offering a £50 voucher for lidl and an exclusive fixed tariff with no exit fees with British gas evolve. the tariff offer is as follows 

Electricity

Product Name	The Green One v4
Product Type	Fixed
Product End Date	09 Oct 2022
Rate
Any Time	20.0067p per kWh
Standing Charge	26.9514p per day

Gas

Product Name	The Green One v4
Product Type	Fixed
Product End Date	09 Oct 2022
Rate
Unit rate	4.20315p per kWh
Standing Charge	23.70795p per day

for me this is about £95/month similar to what EDF variable tariff would be but as has been stated by others EDF's tariff will be going up in october and probably more in the future. It also is far cheaper than any other offer I can get especially fixed atm. Unfortunately this tariff isnt an option on MSE cheap energy club so if its not added Ill have to do my own comparisons for a while.

I hope this can save some people some money as i doubt this offer will be available for long.

  6.937p per kWh in East mids!
Ill keep looking

These were the Lidl/BG East Midlands rates on 22 September when I switched from Utility Point. They’ve obviously increased them substantially since then.

Tariff type Fixed

Gas Unit rate 4.13p/kWh

Standing charge 23.71p/Day

Electricity Unit rate Any Time 19.46p/kWh

yes its now the "Lidl One v2" tariff & the rates have increased massively (eg 7p for gas & 27p for electric)

All the good fixes are now gone it seems

Keeping fingers crossed that existing transfer request goes thru OK

Should be OK. Database showing EDF, so already gone from UP, and BG should be able just to pick it up from there. You and I obviously jumped the gun and ignored the warnings in order to grab a disappearing deal, but those warnings were more for the benefit of the energy suppliers than their customers, and I’m surprised Martin Lewis went along with it.

It might take slightly longer than normal for the transfer, but no reason to suppose it won’t happen.
