I have ( or more accurately had) Shell energy and it would have been moved over to Octopus automatically. Asked round my friends and one is using Octopus so they sent me the referral code and my switch went through today. £50 each. The quote for DD was a few £s cheaper than I currently pay. There is no exit fee so in theory I could switch in a few months.
Thanks MSE
Shame the referrers board has gone because I had a couple of banking deals from other long time forum users.0
