In her old place she was with Scottish power,who stated categorically they would not let her stay with them when she moves as they are not taking on new customers.If they choose to lose a good customer,so be it.

I don't think there are any 'good customers' at the moment. Because of the price cap nobody is really profitable for the energy firms, hence their reluctance to take on switchers. 

If I was moving, I'd just stay with the new property's existing supplier. There are no savings to be had by switching so why bother with the admin hassle? If/when the market opens up again then you'll be free to switch if there's a supplier offering a better deal, or if there have been service issues that mean you want to move.

Thanks.we heard that utility warehouse were not a very good and reliable company to.deal with,so she rang round and EDF were the most helpful.I have just heard from them,as I deal with her emails as she doesnt have internet,that the switch is completed,and a smart meter ordered,so hopefully it will be sorted soon.

A lot of people would contend that EdF are amongst the least helpful suppliers.

My sister contacted all 4 companies that were willing to take on new customers,and they were definitely the easiest  to deal with.
We will.see,so far contacting them on the chat facility has been very simple.And my son is with them,and has never had any problems in several years.
A lot slag off Scottish Power ,yet I've never had any issues with them.
