having been through the process we were dropped on a pretty unfavourable rate with the new supplier so don't think it was really a loss for them!
i agree..... but it highlights why public services should never be privatised.
the whole notion of "market forces" does not work with essential services. a poorly run private company can take the cream in the good times but when things go wrong cant be allowed to simply fail, so we the taxpayer get all the stick but no carrot when things are going well.
Some of the DDs on here are eye watering…….id be in tears of i was paying that each month for utilities
Working from home costs pennies a day……..except for lashes in the living room with lights etc etcIt is what it is, all of the lightbulbs in the house are LED's, the missues works from home, the boy only works part-time so spends most of his time on his Xbox, his missus works from the livingroom doing eyelashes n stuff like that, so theres always lights on and something going off...
Not during winter if you need heating on, or A/C in summerWorking from home costs pennies a day……..except for lashes in the living room with lights etc etc
It does if your partner is retired through ill health and those things are on if you work from home or not…..and seriously air con, open a windowNot during winter if you need heating on, or A/C in summer
Great. Mine is due in a couple of months. I’ll do the same.I just asked and he agreed.
I don’t know whether there are any hard and fast rules. But, I simply asked whether I could remain on my current tariff to charge the car and he agreed. Call was done and dusted within a few minutes. It must be the GO tariff.I think its the go tariff, you might have got lucky, but there is certain tariffs they willing to let people stay on and be a loss leader.
Those who joined tracker very early on also got to stay on low SC and better unit rate caps, but those who joined later are told they have to move on to the updated tariff. Seems to be a decision they have made to treat people different depending on which tariff they on and when they signed up to that tariff. You are on a 2021 tariff which I know is well before the cut off date they used for tracker.
End of the day there is no harm in asking, as you have proven.

And they delivered...Waiting patiently to see if Intelligent Octopus will drop their peak time rate... it is a bit high
Why are smart meters so ****?? Mine stopped working again recently and will apparently take 8 weeks to fix lol..
A similar drop on Go.And they delivered...
Down from 41.1 to 30.5p/kwh
Charging rate stays at 7.5
And for how long? Where can I find a detailed repayment plan and it's timeline of the debt that I'm paying off?Its fairly explicit what the standing charge covers.
You can argue about how the failed suppliers should have been better regulated. But thier failure is what you're paying for. Plus a load of other non usage based things.
I couldnt jump the queue on Octopus tracker even though I am already on it for gas.
Peak time might be scary when July starts, I am on the new Agile then and it is losing EPG subsidy.
