With Avro, waiting for new supplier, is it best for fixed or variable tariff at the minute?

IAMIAM

Just looking, once I am switched. Do I opt for fixed for 12 months best deal (major expensive) or a cheaper variable over the next month when I can review a new tariff?

Well it depends on how lucky you feel.

Personally I'd take the variable (which is at the Ofgem price cap) and see how the market lies in March.

I'm not sure there'll be "cheaper variables". At the moment, they're all priced closed to the level of the price cap set by Ofgem and that is also likely to be the case after 1st Oct as the cost of wholesale gas will again exceed the price cap.

Spin a coin and have the best of five then write to the regulator and wait for their complete and utter waste of paper and ink response

My first payment with Avro was meant to be in 4/5 days time after recently switching. What do I do, I don't fancy giving money over to a company that has gone bust. Shall I cancel direct debit, if I can.

The OfGem website says that you can cancel the direct debit if you want to:
