Any omni customers?
bern with them a while. No issues. Got an email last night saying they were ceasing trading in November and I should change suppliers asap.

Then a few hours later another email saying welcome to Scottish power.
So I assume omni have handed their customers over to Scottish power. But can’t see anything about omni ceasing to trade.
I assume it’s pointless changing to a company of my choosing right now? Am I best to just stay with Scottish power until things settle with energy prices?

Personally, and assuming no pressing need to switch or an imminent house move, I'd wait and see what SP offers.

Something is not quite right here. Omni Energy's website; Facebook accounts etc are still up and running and there is nothing to indicate a pending supplier failure or buyout on the Ofgem website or other sites such as Utility Week. Personally, I would not provide 'Scottish Power' with any bank details etc until you are 100% sure that what you are being told is accurate.
PS And the website is still providing quotes and offering switches.1 -

Just been on chat and they’ve confirmed omni will cease trading by end of November. So email is from omni.Don’t particularly want to stay with Scottish power. But no decent options to change to yet so may as well.Although the cheap energy club has ebico living as vastly cheaper. I won’t switch though as the smaller suppliers seem to sadly be dropping like flies.Sigless0
