It was only a matter of when rather than if.
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

Maybe it would be easier to just start a thread with the companies that are still trading. :rotfl:
Ofgem keeps carrying on as if nothing is wrong but all these losses from these companies going bust are being added to customers bills.
Their licencing policy has been a complete failure that the current system allows to be hidden.0 -

That's encouraging. It may mean that if you have switched and are still owed a refund on a credit balance you may get it refunded by the new supplier. That would be far better for former customers than becoming a low-priority creditor of the failed company.If you've recently switched or you're currently in the process of switching away from Economy Energy, any remaining credit is protected under Ofgem's 'safety net' scheme.

I can only go off what has happened to me so ... i was £203 in credit on my electricity and £96 in credit on gas. Just downloaded my new invoices before the site goes down and they have added 4000 units of electricity and 500 units of gas so acording to their invoices I'm now £800 in dept.
All this talk of "if you're in credit" bunkum ... who they kidding?
Question is, i have other invoices to prove it but do I now have a fight on my hands to change supplier.
I've been through this before with GB Energy when they went under. Didn't get my credit back then either. Although they wern't as creative with their invoicing lick these schrubs.0 -

So are you saying you believe the ROC's they owe won't/don't take precedence over domestic customers ?0 -
If it was me in that position, I would seriously think this through.pdickinson wrote: »I can only go off what has happened to me so ... i was £203 in credit on my electricity and £96 in credit on gas.

You have been billed for an extra 4,000 units of electricity and 500 units of gas at Economy Energy's prices. Had your statement been correct then you would have had to pay for those units at the new supplier's rates. If you leave the statement unchallenged then you could save some money. It could be worth going through the numbers to check.Warning: In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

It seems STRIKE]likely[/STRIKE possible that Ofgem (i.e. all of us, eventually) is now footing the bill for unpaid credit balances for former customers who have switched as well as current customers who haven't switched.
Bear in mind I'm only quoting the original MSE article and don't know anything about it for certain. This must be a recent change to what used to happen but, fingers crossed, it might be good news for former customers awaiting refunds.Warning: In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

As a "disillusioned" former customer, awaiting a refund, I'll form an orderly queue......it's the British way0 -
