    Just been looking at setting up my fuel providers for a new house and Ebi Co were coming out top, so thought I would check their website and as of today they are closed due to being sued.

    Please check with them if they are your provider.

    Where is this information from?

    Can`t see anything on their site now and you can still apply online.
    Probably being sued by the "big six" for being too honest and cheap.

    My mum has just transferred to Ebico (15th May) - I phoned Southern Electric last night to check her details and they confirmed that she was on the Ebico tarriffs - no mention of anything untoward.

    Looks like their website was hijacked.

    There is nothing in the news or on their site apart from posts in 2 different forums about this. Btw they are called Ebico which is one word not two.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    Well the letter we received was just confirming the price increase from the 1st April. Funny thing is according to that I should be paying 12p per k/w, but the meter says it's 10.78p. Also how do you check the gas meter for charges?

    Wow, what a coincidence! 2 posts made on 2 independent forums within 3 minutes of each other, allegedly from potential new customer(s) looking to switch.

    Ebico was founded 10 years ago and currently has about 25,000 customers, which on a straight line basis, averages about 10 additional customers per day.

    If they are now gaining customers at about 1 every 3 minutes, I wonder if they will be able to cope? :rotfl:

    Or perhaps the fact that no one else from either forum (both of which are huge) apparently saw the comment on the Ebico website which in any event seemed to have completely disappeared within 30 minutes of the posts speaks for itself :rolleyes:
