i have signed up to powergen a few months back, after switching from E.on.

is there anything to now stop me switching again to Scottish power and grabbing some more quidco cash ? they are both about the same price for my house

Nothing to stop you switching again.

PowerGen and Eon are the same company.
PowerGen got such a crap reputation that it`s parent company,Eon,decided to change it`s name to it`s own.

Eon is a German company.

From a process point of view, the industry system will not accept another move request within 28 days of the last one being received. Any others will have been rejected

That`s not strictly true. Eon took over Powergen many years ago and they took the time to change the name as they needed the brand to be recognised. Everyone knew who Powergen were especially as they sponsored the weather and they sponsored other things like the FA cup (or whatever cup it is) so people would get used to hearing the name before they rebranded.

The reason that Powergen got such a bad name was because they were the first company that changed their billing procedure which resulted in problems that other companies are now facing whilst changing their procedures.

Not to mention their attempt to transfer their customers services to India.

At least they had the guts to quickly admit it was a big mistake and bring it back to the UK. Whether that has improved things again is a matter of debate. Having sacked/re-assigned many of their original, experienced CS advisors, they now employ a bunch of......well lets just say most get paid peanuts.

Well I couldn`t see how someone in a hot country would understand the principles behind gas central heating and how could they advise you on energy efficiency etc etc.
