I was with Igloo and got an email from EON last month saying they were my new supplier. Got another email from them yesterday saying they had been unable to set up my DD and didn't have any info on how much credit I had with Igloo. Logged on, set up the DD, and saw that, despite not having any meter readings, I owe them £231. No idea how they came up with that, but not a great start.

Share your frustration as I am with Sainsbury’s Energy and I think EON are involved. What I need and possibly you is the installation of the facility for them to read the meter online. i have been trying for this for 18 months’ without success. Problem solve for the future but not the past!

EDF "offered" me their new fixed rate of nearly £4k a year.. Well over double what I'm currently paying. Err, no thanks.
Sadly, only alternative is to move onto their variable, just the £1k more than current.
Well under £60 per month for gas. Shame they seem to have forgotten that I'm a dual fuel customer...

The current cap (for October 2021 to April 2022) is 21 per KwH for electricity and 4p per kWh for gas.
Not sure if that helps you but that's the highest they can charge you if you ride this out

My supplier went bust. Was with Pure Planet and over the last year I've had problems with my gas meter registering my usage. They replaced it but I managed to rack up £2k credit. Now this was fuel that I have used so I should have £0 in credit as Pure Planet were really good at just charging for fuel you used, and I had asked them multiple times to sort it.
Got an e-mail about a month ago to say Shell energy were taking over my account but heard nothing since. Wonder if they've scarpered thinking they owe me £2k. ?
Really have no idea what's going on now.

We're with Bulb, they actually lasted about a month longer than I thought they would. Now we sit tight and see who we end up with!

That’s what I paid with bulb for September and October.
Is there any price capping on standing charges, or can that be used to increase costs?

There is but I can't remember off top of my head I'll look into it

This was on one of the websites I looked at whilst researching my options (I have none bar sit tight)....
"The price cap is a cap on a unit of gas and electricity, with standing charges taken into account. It is not a cap on customers’ overall energy bills, which will still rise or fall in line with their energy consumption."

Just heard on the news that they had blown it.

We moved from Bulb a few months ago to Igloo who also went bust and now we've been transferred to Eon Next .
All because the major wholesale oil and gas suppliers are raking up their prices
.
We have a certain amount of North Sea oil and gas waiting, but not allowed to use it because of climate and other issues.
I don't understand this, can anyone explain it to me ? simply please .

So nothing to do with Brexit, but a rise in energy prices across the whole of Europe and the rest of the world, not just those in the EU?

Surely we would be still be using the same amount of energy perhaps even reduce emissions, but cheaper from a different supplier, without having to import .
Creating employment with workers paying taxes, putting money back into the system and not having to collect universal credits.

Yep. Last I heard they weren't in the EU. Anyone blaming us leaving the EU for the rise in prices needs their head read.

? Sorry. ?It's all your fault, you introduced me to Bulb
If it's any consolation I have no idea how our lights are still on. Pure Planet folded ages ago and I've basically heard nowt since.
