This does show as £75 exit fee on some comparison sites. There are other providers that have had incorrect information recently too.

MSE Cheap Energy Club show it as £75 (per fuel). That’s where I’d saw it.



But it’s £50 as pointed out above and confirmed on BG’s website.

In general Ive learned never trust referral / comparison sites details or deals will match.

If you use that specific BG site link - what price does it show ?

As found several pricing and coverage issues on insurance sites vs actual linked supplier policies so always a bit wary.

As such I'd worry if an error  MSE club - or genuine click through deal difference.

On BG’s site, the exit fees are £50 per fuel.

The unit and standing charge rates are the same on MSE Club as the BG site and as per my opening post - The standing charges are almost half what I am paying now!

I just went to the BG site and got a quote and the gas standing charge is half what im paying now and Electricity down from 49.9 to 31.7.

I’m in two minds about switching to BG. 

On one hand I’ll easily save over £100 a year.

One the other hand, BG seem to have issues with their new billing platform and it would appear lots of customers are receiving wrong bills, incorrect direct debit amounts being taken and no bills being issued etc so I’m not sure what to do.

I switched gas to B.G couple of months ago not had any issues, I would have thought same applies to majority of B.G customers.

I'm not a fan of BG but switched to this tariff because of the lower standing charges. My view is that if you're savvy enough to keep an eye on your usage and bills then you should not be too worried about their incompetence. There's a complaints procedure and energy ombudsman available to assist with any issues that can't be resolved quickly via the helpdesk.

Also, if possible you should take advantage of their generous £150 referal bonus.

I cant see standing charges coming down to anything near those rates in the future??  I think the next price cap is to be announced on the 24th of May?  I havent been able to find anything about which direction standing charges will go though.

I’ll probably make the switch this week - A saving of £117 in standing charges over the next 12 months is probably too good to miss out on!

I agree - I don’t see standing charges halving to match those on that BG tariff.

Did you decide to make the switch in the end?   Im still debating whether to do so.
