  • I would jump.  They have already intimated that they are chatting with investors, that is not a good sign.  On top of a DD increase with high credit...

    Just some advice.

    If igloo does go down the pan your credit balances will be carried over to new supplier, however it could take upto 4 months to sort out with the new suppliers as accounts gets migrated, igloo will not refund you directly. Juts make sure you take meter readings when they announce closure.

    I'm with igloo, Martin said they were in discussion with administrators. Should I start a switch or is it too late? Don't want to get caught up in limbo if they go bust!
    I must admit..i have probably panicked, but i initiated a switch yesterday to British Gas. The tariff wasnt too far away from the one i am on with Igloo ( well when the increase starts on 1st October). I think i am going to cancel my DD too as i am currently £129 in credit, with a bill due at the end of the month, & the following month as we are light users.. so that will more than cover the amount needed. I am hoping the switch goes through..
    It should go through, Igloo haven't announced they've ceased trading yet, i think the real danger in a move being blocked is switching after companies cease trading and a SoLR has been appointed.
    Thanks Manic37..i hope so!

    Did you go for the fixed or variable with EON Next. I'm in the same position and not quite sure what to do?

    Igloo have ceased trading. Just got email from them.
  • Hi,
    here's the latest, read.
  • I'm mid switch from Igloo, got an email from them a few days ago that they'd been informed I was leaving and another email to say my DD had been cancelled.  If anyone has a live DD with Igloo I'd keep an eye on your bank account to make sure no more payments get taken.
  • Just had a long email from them, but this sums it up:

    "It is with great regret that we need to therefore inform you that Igloo Energy Supply Limited is ceasing to trade, and your energy supply will now be transferred to a new supplier. You need not worry; your supply is secure and funds that you have paid into you accounts will be protected if you are in credit. You can find out more details about this here."
