Email appeared from YE with the final bill to login and pay.
I only got an email from Scottish Power to say the final bill would be coming soon last week. Have to check who is expecting to be paid :-)
Paid my YE bill and activated a switch to Avro. Having put my readings into Scottish Power I now realise this was the crappiest time of year for all this to happen as switching now gives you the max hit on winter bills with no summer equalising of the DD. Oh well.
Ended up paying another £175 as they pointed out it was a different period…. Scottish power were buggers though as they stated that I had paid my final bill in January…
£350+ for 6 weeks energy in a modern house???
Feeling the bills in this draughty old place I’ve moved into…. Scary
Yeah. I've ended up with no DDs until Feb (so that's 2 months missed) plus over the winter months wfh the usage has been high. So my current bill for just over 3 months is bit eek. It is only now I realise, as i said, just how much the summer smoothing has a massive bill effect.
After waiting for days for someone from SP to contact me - I decided to call USwitch last night - now in the process of moving to SO Energy on a one year fixed deal.
Based on this years usage (coldest winter for a while & WFH for a year) SO Energy are cheaper than the YE plan I was originally on, roll on getting my credit balance from SP.
Heads up prices on variable tarrifs going up 9% next month
We’ve just got notified of final bill from YE, thankfully we’ve a healthy credit balance to go to Scottish Power.
Our most recent bill from SP was high but my wife and I have both been working from home this past year so it’s only to be expected.
Scottish Power put us on the Energy Exclusive tariff and there’s very little out there with any real savings benefit
Well I got my credit applied to Scottish power… Direct debit is active…. Not had a bill yet from sp.. and it does not let me put in meter readings…. Suppose I best call them !
cheers

Like many, the deal that SP gave us is up at the end of June. I had a quick surf for deals that are cheaper, there are several. Anybody done similar and can offer feedback on new supplier. We need dual fuel plus Econ.7 and preferably green electricity. Thanks
Funny enough was looking tonight - few deals which seem a bit cheaper but not much in it unless you go for a tiny firm (look at the uswitch list but include those you have to contact directly)
Might just go fixed with octopus for a couple of years and see what the market is like then.
Cheers

Feeling ripped off...
My switch happened in December & I had a credit balance of £192 with YE.
Scottish Power took over my account & January payment was skipped, with first debit of £93 going out in Feb.
So in theory I had credit with them of approx. £285 - but I owed them 2 months of energy usage - say £185 ish.
In my mind that's about £100 to be refunded... In April I received a refund of £19 !
I know that there is the winter bills effect & no balancing with the lower summer usage...
...but I struggle to believe my energy usage was so high in Jan/Feb (or is the SP tariff so high?)
Anyway I'm with Green now - so SP can sod off.

Just to resurrect this thread - Green also went bump.
I've ended up with Shell - which, hopefully, will not last long... as prices are expected to increase next month.
( I'm with look after my bills, but they've not switched me yet)
Today, I got a letter from debt collectors representing Green Energy for my final bill of £126...
The debt collectors have the name 'Credit Style' ... like debt collecting is stylish these days..?
I've Googled them - & it seems legit - anyone else similarly contacted ?
Apparently, I have 7 days to settle or I get a CCJ & additional costs.
What would happen if I were working away / on holiday ?

I received the same letter yesterday, but for charges in 2020 and for an account number that Green closed when I repeatedly told them the MPAN and meter serial numbers are not for my electricity meter.
This debt claim is for that meter which isn't mine. Double check that everything is correct on their claim for yours.
I've contacted Credit Style to note that it isn't my meter they're claiming for. I suspect this may be causing a credit black mark given it's for 2020?

I was moved to Octopus from Avro, I did a quick check- the fixed tariff would be ~£1000 more than current variable and start before the April rise so I'll risk a pass or visit it again at end of March pre-rise. One thing to note is submitting the readings appears to create instant bill, so need to make sure take a reading just before next price hike. I moved over with ~£300 credit, now down to £21 but still at £89 per month DD- they haven't suggested upping the DD yet and mention smoothing of Winter debit / Summer credit so will see how it goes over the next couple of months...
Meanwhile check your Tv sub /Broadband / Mobile phone bills etc as the CPI + 3.9% hikes are kicking in, just under 10% for youngest mobile bill rise... and for me it the usual house and car insurance merry go round, despite supposed to give best prices for loyal customers the renewal quotes for me says otherwise...
