Will have to check alternatives ASAP, but seems we're going to be for a while trapped in this price before we can move.0

I'm in the SWEB region, and the prices here are
Elec 15.02 p/kWh + 26.17p/day, which for me is 25% increase in rate, + 1.3p/day
Gas 3.79p p/kWh + 19.06p/day, which for me is 38% increase in rate, - 4.5p/day
no mention in the tariff email if those figures include VAT @ 5% or if that wil be added on later.0 -
Ino mention in the tariff email if those figures include VAT @ 5% or if that wil be added on later.
As there is no mention of paying a penalty to switch I assume that I will be able to switch without an early exit fee just as soon as my credit from OneSelect has been transferred over.0 -
Just got the email with the tariff from Together & it looks like a 25-30% price hike over what I was paying OneSelect. I realise that OneSelect went bust partly because they weren't charging enough but this is ridiculous. Very poor communication too as full info on the tariff is missing so I am not even sure if it is fixed or what is the end date or how it compares with Together's other tariffs.
It's best to do a comparison with the cheapest available tariff rather than comparing to the tariff you were on. Wholesale prices have gone up significantly in the past few months - probably part of the reason One Select failed.
For me, the tariff is quite competitive (inc VAT):
Elec: 15.02p
Elec E7: 15.52p / 10.68p
Standing: 24.10p
I'm on E7 and the night rate is 2p more expensive, but other than that pretty close to the cheapest available deal. I use about 70% of my energy at peak times. I could only save about 3%, or £15-20 a year by switching elsewhere.
This is a lot better than I was fearing!0 -

Anyone know how long before it's safe to switch? It looks like I there is a 2 year fix with Scottish Power that is cheaper than the Together tariff. Even if it's not the cheapest at least they are unlikely to go out of business & cause me this unwanted hassle.
Have a read of the raft of reviews about SP on Trustpilot et al. They are still under Ofgem scrutiny. My own experience of SP is no Final Bill for nearly 5 months: one property; one meter; two Supply Numbers and two suppliers who are both billing me. Give me a small supplier like Octopus or Zog any day. I will accept the very small risk that they could go under.0 -
I received the same email notification, surprised to read this part:You will have received an email asking you to confirm your details and enter your meter readings. We know this is a busy time of year and we don’t want to trouble you but this makes the transfer process so much easier and means you only pay for what you should.
Anyone else in the same position?0 -
Said I should have received mail for confirmation but I haven't yet either. I guess they are behind - quite a lot of processing to do.
I notice the Oneselect account page is still running normally with all details so I've asked from the contact option there.0 -
Same boat, no email requesting meter reading. One select also took a direct debit payment on the 11th December which isn’t showing when I log into my OneSelect account, not sure what I should do?0
