MSE Energy Club Collective Switch failed due to MSE tech issues
So today I've just received an update for for my switch to the British Gas, Collective Nov26 tariff to be told "the application wasn't could not be loaded into the system".
(After I hadn't been switched in the alloted 5 working days after my 'switch in progress' enail, I had already sent a chaser email)
As a result, I look to have missed out due to a technical issue at MSE Energy Clubs end and after speaking with British Gas, they have directed me back to MSE to fix this.
BG kindly checked everything their end and confirmed no request had been sent by MSE the national database and confirmed nothing would prevent me switching.
I did ask if MSE could resubmit my application to be told:

Unfortunately we are unable to resubmit applications, however you can submit a new switch on your account if you are still looking to change.
Unfortunately this tariff is now closed to new applications and other tarrif rates have jumped - it seems rather unfair to me as a consumer to miss out and incur £100s+ per annum extra cost because of an MSE tech issue - is there any way to escalate this with MSE?
