Stupid question, but do current fixed price deals factor tomorrow's price cap increase i.e. the deals will remain unchanged until next week?
I'm about to refer and fix my parents on Octopus 15m fixed, moving from Scottish Power. They have £350 balance with SP, which they today requested them transfer to their bank account. Ideally we'd like that payment to clear, before making the switch, just to avoid the risk of that balance getting lost somewhere during the process. I'm assuming it'll be done this week, and they can make the switch at the weekend. But worried deals will disappear/get worse overnight - is that unfounded?
