To be clear, you are in a deemed contract with the existing supplier, and you cannot switch until you have registered with them. Have you?

Echoing this, but just to add don't agree to a fixed tariff.  You are entitled to join the standard variable rate.

Ok so definitely better to be on the variable rate over the fixed? 

That would depend on what rates you were offered on a fix. At present there are no fixes lower than SVT under the price cap. But with the market in turmoil, you don't want to be locked into a fix now at any price, unless it were lower than SVT. Which it won't be.
