    it's worth trying a couple of comparison sites - energyhelpline couldn't do the switch for most of the cheaper gas suppliers for me (i did switch electricity with them though), so i looked at the ukpower one and they could do the switch online so i get the cashback for each fuel and the ease of applying online.

    Talk about taking things for granted. I have changed a few times and recently my current provider, scottish power has always been cheaper. But I checked today because of the new e-mail and I could not believe my eyes!!! I coyuld save 17% by switching to Bristish gas, who I thought were the most expensive after all the recent price hikes.... Got that wrong did'nt I?

    I don't like change much, as it messes up the direct debits and then the old supplier will want a chash settlement, but I can save £101 a year so maybe it's worth it.
    NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!

    Remeber that nPower have held there prices for a long time and are expected to increase them in January. So I expect it will be a BIG increase.

    If you do change suppliers and end up in credit, remember to ask for your balance back.

    We changed from npower earlier this year and - although they sent us a final bill with a credit balance - I had to ring up to request a refund.

    it's worth it i'd say. british gas was much cheaper for electricity for me. 17% i think, and then atlantic were 9% cheaper for my gas. the dual fuel deals weren't as good, british gas were the cheapest by 9% but still not as cheap as doing them separately with the 2 suppliers. i will save more than a hundred pounds compared to staying with scottish power, i'm really chuffed :-) i owe about a hundred to my old supplier because my DD was set too low, but it's worth the payout i reckon, they'd have wanted their hundred back anyway, plus they'd have still been charging me a hundred more than the other companies will.
